12 Things Even Die-Hard Fans Might Not Know About Tom Petty

9. He Didn’t Get DJ’s or Electronica

It’s fair to say that Petty was a very classically-oriented rocker. He once turned down the award-wining single “The Boys of Summer” because he didn’t like its use of synthesizers. He also repeatedly implied that most DJs were people who didn’t have the patience or the talent to learn traditional instruments. In one instance he went on to say that the only reason people like DJ concerts is the drugs that go along with the event. Tom Petty called them “drug parties.”
