30 Day Song Challenge: Day 14 – Favorite Song From Your Childhood
When I was little, my favorite artist in the whole world was Tom Petty. I used to listen to Full Moon Fever constantly, and back then, this was my favorite track. (My favorites now are “Face in the Crowd,” “Zombie Zoo,” and “Love is a Long Road.”)
Tom Petty: “Yer So Bad”
Muse: Will of the People World Tour 2023, US Dates (Updated 11/9/22)
Update: ONE OK ROCK and Highly Suspect have been added as openers!
I want to attend a show on this tour so badly (I haven’t seen Muse since 2007), but they just completely skipped over the Southeast. Perhaps I can fly to Denver and go to Ball Arena with my brother. Hmm…
