No, I know his brother, Bruce,but that doesn't really do
anything.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Bruce Petty yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Bruce Petty.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
But now I don't.
Thomas Earl Petty.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Earl, oh Earl.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, what a name.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Did you, did you go what a writer like a year after
he died.
Did you go up?
Wasn't there like a tributeshow?
Did you go up to that?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh, they do the the Tom Petty weekend.
They actually they just did it.
And at the Heartwood state,this Heartwood sound studio up
there, huge spot, and they hadme do a mural of Tom.
Actually, in the piece theoriginal piece is actually going
(20:35):
to be hanging at the show onFriday with Derek and myself.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
But the but but that piece, that the mural, or even
the artwork, was eventually putonto video for the song
Gainesville, which was on thebox set that came out with Tom
Petty on the American treasure.
So the the actual artworkthat's in the video is what's
going to be hanging at thegallery, but it's still up in
Gainesville as well and ofcourse Petty's a, you know, a
(21:02):
Florida legend.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, yeah, can I?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
sneak in a question.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I love hearing you talk about music.
What do you love about Petty?
What, what's?
What is it about Petty?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
What?
What do I love about Tom Petty?
Tom Petty's like like the last,really amazing, like not last,
but like when you think ofAmerican songwriters, like he's
just so, like he's always beenthere since I was a kid, you
know, when you watch, like when,when, like the you got lucky
(21:35):
video came out like 1980, whatwas that?
1983 when it came out.
Or 84?
Like that was the first videowhere they had to add an extra
part of a song to continue thevideo because the video was so
long, which is interesting.
And actually Van Halen did thatwith, with the cathedral, with
intruder on the pretty womanvideo.
(21:56):
But but if you think about greatAmerican songwriters, like
there's not that many, I meanthere's a lot of great ones I
don't want to like say, like youknow, people like Tom Waits or
people like Dylan, bob Dylan oror even like Tom Petty, to me is
just like, oh, like JohnMellencamp.
He's just like.
He's so raw and like didn'tgive a shit, didn't care, just
(22:21):
did his thing and just did itwell.
He just, yeah, everything hedid was like really worth
listening to If you haven't gonefurther and it was catalog.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I always like with him that he had the kind of raw
barband style you know emotionalstories, but then he was also
willing to.
You know, he went kind of theJeff Lynn Beatles kind of
harmony harmony vocals direction.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
It's like nice to listen to yeah, and then he
played bass on the the travel,the travel, woolberries, yeah,
yeah, so he did some outside thebox stuff, and did you know
that his middle name is Earl no.
I do now that Dave Grohl wasinitially asked to be the the
drum replacement for him in like19 after he left Nirvana, and
(23:07):
he he said no because he wantedto try this little thing called
the food fighters.
But they did perform once liveand you can watch it on YouTube,
but it's on SNL.
Oh cool, it's like.
Yeah, so you can see Dave Grohlplaying drums with Tom Petty on
Sunday at live.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's cool, so pretty cool, okay.
I just want maybe a couple morequestions and then we'll move
on.
Sure, I don't know if peopleare getting bored of this.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
It's definitely turning to a music thing, but
I'm totally loving it.
Right, Rock paper scissors,Exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Coming at you live.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Van Halen's guitarist Eddie.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Van Halen is known for popularizing which playing
technique?
Oh, that would be fingertapping, that's right.
Two handed fingers tapping.
Yeah, mm, hmm.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Mm, hmm, bill and Ted's.
Oh, do you remember this one?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
This is like pop culture, shanae O'Connor
famously tore a photo of whichpublic figure during the live TV
performance.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
The Pope.
Yes, mm, hmm, that was him.
That was really cool andinitially, what she, what she,
what she show Lauren Michaels.
Before they did it, I think itwas like a flag, oh, really.
It wasn't it wasn't actuallyJohn Paul.
I love she was a man, she was.
Yeah, If you.
If you haven't seen the docabout her, that's on Showtime.
(24:19):
I want to it's really greatLike, even if you like people
think that she's just like thiscrazy woman.
Yeah, no, I think she had moreto say than anybody like her she
went through a lot and she wasas about as punk rock as you
could go, and I don't think alot of people realize that.
Yeah, they don't they don't seeher backstory.
They just go and it's reallyunfortunate that she ended up.
(24:40):
You know suicide, so that kindof makes that go a little bit
heavier, where it's like well,she was crazy, it's like well,
yeah, but if you see thestruggle of what she went
through, yeah, listen to hermusic.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally Well.
I do want to talk about anotherone of your murals, the
Kool-Aid man.
It has such a cool story behindit.
So let me get this right.
Somebody crashed into a barduring the holiday season and
your idea was to have theKool-Aid man.
(25:13):
Yeah, it was crashing out ofthe wall that they rebuilt Well
what happened?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Okay, everyone in Orlando knows that there's a bar
that I frequent that's veryclose to where I live and it's
called the Hideaway Bar.
Props to Chip and all the girls, and you know I've done a lot
of artwork there.
But it was a Sunday and whichis which?
It was in December of last yearand apparently they had been a
(25:39):
fight that went up, thatsomething that happened inside
the bar and anyway, this guy gotinto his truck, pulled out and
then rammed right into thestraight front of the bar and
injured a lot of people.
Like people got hurt and endedup in the hospital Surprising
that no one it had there been afootball game going on.
That would have been crazy, butluckily enough it didn't go
(26:04):
down that way, but it was.
What was crazy was that thathappened at about 6 pm and then
the wall was completely clearedout and rebuilt by patrons in
the neighborhood by 12 o'clock.
That night was done.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That was great.
I read that people came andlike People were bringing pizzas
for like, but I had no idea itwas done in that amount of time.
It was so fast.
And then, how fast did you putyour mural on?
Well?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
then I told Chip I was like, all right, now we have
this big hole and we've got ablank wall, like let me come up
with something.
And I thought what's the bestway to make this negative into a
positive?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah.
And I got busted into the wallyeah, what busted the wall.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
And I was like well, we'll throw the Kool-Aid guy up
there and make them all MiamiDolphins, because it's the
Dolphins bar when it's like see,when it's football season, but
yeah, and then we made T-shirts.
I made T-shirts of that andthen all the money from the
T-shirts went to the victimsthat were in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Oh my God, you're an angel.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
It was good.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You also use pop culture in the best sense, like
you're really cheeky about it.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, it's like a DJ mashup.
Yeah, it's kind of a way tolook at it.
Yeah, so it's all just playinghomage to the history of the
stuff that we grew up on andjust kind of putting a remix of
it.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, of our own style and making it light.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah.
I know it was tragic, but yeah,people were like put the back
of the car and I'm like now youjust drink over there.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No, I'll worry about it.
That's like putting the Bostonbomber on the cover of the
magazine.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Oh, yeah, oh, and when it's on the cover rolling
stone.
Yeah, that didn't fly very well, especially with the.
You know, my Boston boys upthere were not either.
They were like no.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That was crazy yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
That was completely insane.
Yeah, let's fuck him.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, no he's rotting in jail.
Yeah, he is so that's all good,all right.
Well, I've realized that Derekknows you a little better than I

weird way.

No one gets hurt except ourself esteem.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
That's about it, that's true, if nobody buys our
playing cards, that's sad, yeah,if no one comes to the show and

Did you go up?
Wasn't there like a tributeshow?
Did you go up to that?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh, they do the the Tom Petty weekend.
They actually they just did it.
And at the Heartwood state,this Heartwood sound studio up
there, huge spot, and they hadme do a mural of Tom.
Actually, in the piece theoriginal piece is actually going
(20:35):
to be hanging at the show onFriday with Derek and myself.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
But the but but that piece, that the mural, or even
the artwork, was eventually putonto video for the song
Gainesville, which was on thebox set that came out with Tom
Petty on the American treasure.
So the the actual artworkthat's in the video is what's
going to be hanging at thegallery, but it's still up in
Gainesville as well and ofcourse Petty's a, you know, a
(21:02):
Florida legend.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, yeah, can I?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
sneak in a question.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I love hearing you talk about music.
What do you love about Petty?
What, what's?
What is it about Petty?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
What?
What do I love about Tom Petty?
Tom Petty's like like the last,really amazing, like not last,
but like when you think ofAmerican songwriters, like he's
just so, like he's always beenthere since I was a kid, you
know, when you watch, like when,when, like the you got lucky
(21:35):
video came out like 1980, whatwas that?
1983 when it came out.
Or 84?
Like that was the first videowhere they had to add an extra
part of a song to continue thevideo because the video was so
long, which is interesting.
And actually Van Halen did thatwith, with the cathedral, with
intruder on the pretty womanvideo.
(21:56):
But but if you think about greatAmerican songwriters, like
there's not that many, I meanthere's a lot of great ones I
don't want to like say, like youknow, people like Tom Waits or
people like Dylan, bob Dylan oror even like Tom Petty, to me is
just like, oh, like JohnMellencamp.
He's just like.
He's so raw and like didn'tgive a shit, didn't care, just
(22:21):
did his thing and just did itwell.
He just, yeah, everything hedid was like really worth
listening to If you haven't gonefurther and it was catalog.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I always like with him that he had the kind of raw
barband style you know emotionalstories, but then he was also
willing to.
You know, he went kind of theJeff Lynn Beatles kind of
harmony harmony vocals direction.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
It's like nice to listen to yeah, and then he
played bass on the the travel,the travel, woolberries, yeah,
yeah, so he did some outside thebox stuff, and did you know
that his middle name is Earl no.
I do now that Dave Grohl wasinitially asked to be the the
drum replacement for him in like19 after he left Nirvana, and

Yeah, so you can see Dave Grohlplaying drums with Tom Petty on
Sunday at live.
Speaker 1 (23:21):

I just want maybe a couple morequestions and then we'll move
on.
Sure, I don't know if peopleare getting bored of this.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
It's definitely turning to a music thing, but
I'm totally loving it.
Right, Rock paper scissors,Exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Coming at you live.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Van Halen's guitarist Eddie.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Van Halen is known for popularizing which playing
technique?
Oh, that would be fingertapping, that's right.
Two handed fingers tapping.
Yeah, mm, hmm.
Speaker 3 (23:46):

Oh, do you remember this one?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
This is like pop culture, shanae O'Connor
famously tore a photo of whichpublic figure during the live TV
performance.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
The Pope.
Yes, mm, hmm, that was him.
That was really cool andinitially, what she, what she,
what she show Lauren Michaels.
Before they did it, I think itwas like a flag, oh, really.
It wasn't it wasn't actuallyJohn Paul.
I love she was a man, she was.
Yeah, If you.
If you haven't seen the docabout her, that's on Showtime.
(24:19):
I want to it's really greatLike, even if you like people
think that she's just like thiscrazy woman.
Yeah, no, I think she had moreto say than anybody like her she
went through a lot and she wasas about as punk rock as you
could go, and I don't think alot of people realize that.
Yeah, they don't they don't seeher backstory.
They just go and it's reallyunfortunate that she ended up.
(24:40):
You know suicide, so that kindof makes that go a little bit
heavier, where it's like well,she was crazy, it's like well,
yeah, but if you see thestruggle of what she went
through, yeah, listen to hermusic.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally Well.
I do want to talk about anotherone of your murals, the
Kool-Aid man.
It has such a cool story behindit.
So let me get this right.
Somebody crashed into a barduring the holiday season and
your idea was to have theKool-Aid man.
(25:13):
Yeah, it was crashing out ofthe wall that they rebuilt Well
what happened?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Okay, everyone in Orlando knows that there's a bar
that I frequent that's veryclose to where I live and it's
called the Hideaway Bar.
Props to Chip and all the girls, and you know I've done a lot
of artwork there.
But it was a Sunday and whichis which?
It was in December of last yearand apparently they had been a
(25:39):
fight that went up, thatsomething that happened inside
the bar and anyway, this guy gotinto his truck, pulled out and
then rammed right into thestraight front of the bar and
injured a lot of people.
Like people got hurt and endedup in the hospital Surprising
that no one it had there been afootball game going on.
That would have been crazy, butluckily enough it didn't go
(26:04):
down that way, but it was.
What was crazy was that thathappened at about 6 pm and then
the wall was completely clearedout and rebuilt by patrons in
the neighborhood by 12 o'clock.
That night was done.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That was great.
I read that people came andlike People were bringing pizzas
for like, but I had no idea itwas done in that amount of time.
It was so fast.
And then, how fast did you putyour mural on?
Well?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
then I told Chip I was like, all right, now we have
this big hole and we've got ablank wall, like let me come up
with something.
And I thought what's the bestway to make this negative into a
positive?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah.
And I got busted into the wallyeah, what busted the wall.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
And I was like well, we'll throw the Kool-Aid guy up
there and make them all MiamiDolphins, because it's the
Dolphins bar when it's like see,when it's football season, but
yeah, and then we made T-shirts.
I made T-shirts of that andthen all the money from the
T-shirts went to the victimsthat were in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Oh my God, you're an angel.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
It was good.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You also use pop culture in the best sense, like
you're really cheeky about it.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, it's like a DJ mashup.
Yeah, it's kind of a way tolook at it.
Yeah, so it's all just playinghomage to the history of the
stuff that we grew up on andjust kind of putting a remix of
it.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, of our own style and making it light.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yeah.
I know it was tragic, but yeah,people were like put the back
of the car and I'm like now youjust drink over there.
Speaker 1 (27:35):

stone.
