Here I am, jacking another thread, but this topic reminds me of a Tom Petty song and a question I have, probably strato might be able to answer. In this song that I posted by The Wilburys, there is a line in the lyrics that say, "I was high above the water so my things could stay in tune"...can you tell me what that is all about?

YouTube - Traveling Wilburys - Cool Dry Place

By the way, Cher, just mentioning the Warehouse brought me way back. Although I can't say that I ever went there, I remember a lot of my friends going and watching bands like Black Oak Arkansas and ZZ Top. I wish I would've gone to some of those but I was a pretty straight dude back then, and all the sports activities kinda screwed up any other social activities.

The first thing that comes to mind for me with that song is Petty's house fire a few years back...he lost just about everything. When you read the lyrics to that song it kinda makes sense.
