Carl mentioned him in one of his songs by name.

Just love that snare pattern at the start of the solo! Rest in peace, sir.

Why did everyone have to get old and die? Almost all of my heroes are gone now. The few that remain, well i know their time isn't long on this earth. Title: Re: R. I. P. W. S.

Ain't nothing better than Carl and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers rocking out to "Restless" and "One more shot". Pure Rock'n'Roll. I wish Carl would've had his "American recordings". Title: Re: R. I.
