Holly Lebowitz Rossi: October 2007 Archives

Last night my husband and I saw the four-hour Peter Bogdanovich mega-documentary "Runnin' Down a Dream: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" during its one-night-only showing in Boston (the movie will soon be released on DVD).

The film painted a remarkable picture of a career that spans more than 30 years and has channeled at various moments the best essences of punk, rock and roll, country, and folk music. More than that, though, the movie told a story that should inspire anyone with creative aspirations to believe that doing meaningful work is possible if you stay true to yourself.
