WORDS: DANNII LEIVERS
“MY DAD RAISED us heavily on TOM PETTY. The video for Mary Jane’s Last Dance always struck me. It was a really creepy video, but I liked the theatrics of it. You can be weirder than you are in music. And that song is one of my favourite Petty songs of all time. In my eyes, TRAVELING WILBURYS are the supergroup of all supergroups. Every one of them [Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty] is so distinctly themselves in it, and that concept has stuck with me to now. Everyone has songs they can throw on when they’re in a bad way and it just takes care of the problem, and Handle With Care is one of those songs for me.
