EPISODE SUMMARY:
It's the fortunate few who are able to find that one artist that speaks to them more than any other, and will follow their career their entire lives. Time passes and people's tastes change. But ever since age 15, comedian Geoff Tate has had a deep connection to the music of rock icon Tom Petty, which still lasts to this day. But out of all the musician's albums, nothing quite suits Geoff as much as the 1979 album featuring the Heartbreakers called Damn the Torpedoes.
