I found myself blindly ordering Petty tickets once again even though I've seen him countless times. He just has such joy on stage, it's hard to ignore that. Wooo Heartbreakers. Doesn't the 405 run right thru Reseda, where the beer plant is?

haha! you're not alone...i found this on "annika's journal" (http://annika.mu.nu/) "I always complained that Petty, who moved here from Florida in 1974, was somewhat mistaken about the geography of his adoptive home. Exhibit A is the following line from the hit "Free Fallin':" It's a long day living in Reseda, There's a freeway runnin through the yard. Um no, that's inaccurate. There's no freeway in Reseda. Check Google maps; the closest freeway is US 101, which goes through Tarzana, but not Reseda."

Unless it's a metaphor, I'm not sure I can give him a pass for saying there's a freeway in Reseda.
