Summary
Tom Petty and Me is a new book by Jon Scott, Tom's friend for 40 years. Jon has been credited with "breaking" the career of this iconic rock-and-roller. This book is an inside look of a former deejay turned promotion man, who met Tom when he was about to be dropped by his record label, ABC Records.
Through many serendipitous moments, Jon appeared at the right time to help get Tom's first album played on the radio, and that changed the careers of both men. Tom's first album had been out for eight months when Jon arrived on the scene. The rest is history! At Tom's final concert at The Hollywood Bowl, Tom dedicated "I Won't Back Down" to Jon, as a testament to Jon's help in establishing his career back in 1977.
