Annie Zaleski says:

a springsteen-petty electoral bill i think would earn approximately 95% of the popular vote. only not 100%, because some people in this world hate fun/genius.

also, there aren't enough videos in this post.

in all seriousness, the humanity and humility of petty's live show in 2008 is a treat.
