The late, great Phil Seymour on drums.

Big Twilley fan here. What's with the goofy cartoon cut-ins?

For whatever reason, Twilley appeared on a Saturday morning children's show called "Wacko"!

But if I posted the video link here, someone will get their nose out of joint. It's not exactly G-rated, nor is it particularly PC.

Petty sings backup on it.

Apparently Petty was a good friend to Twilley and his band.

Phil Seymour came out with a pretty solid album of his own in 1980. It's actually kind of a cult power pop classic. Shortly after, he died of lymphoma. That sucks. (Lymphoma, I mean. Not Phil's album.)

They were an amazing team. I remember "Baby it's You", but I never realized he was Twilley's band-mate before. I can't imagine anything he did musically sucking.

They met standing in line to see a screening of "A Hard Day's Night" in Tulsa, OK. Two young longhairs in the Bible Belt who discovered they had similar tastes in music. The rest, as they say, is music history.
