Tom Petty's Los Angeles

The LA Weekly has a fun story in today's issue listing, and mapping, 38 places that figure in the music and life of L.A. transplant Tom Petty. Daphne Carr writes, "There exists in sound a map of Los Angeles, filled with song-lyric street names, neighborhoods, beaches, bars, empty spaces and spaces between spaces. It's a chart that follows more than 30 years in the life and work of Tom Petty, a longtime resident of the city and an undercelebrated rock & roll icon who finally appears to be getting his due." The locales run the gamut from the Travelodge on North Vermont, where he lived while recording his first album, to Reseda to the Viper Room. The map is by Scott Gursky.
