Seven years after Western Stars, its closing song finally gets its public concert debut. Just Bruce, an acoustic guitar, and a beautiful song.

Worth the wait.

50 years ago today, on November 9, 1976, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released their self-titled debut album on Shelter Records.

Tom, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Ron Blair and Stan Lynch cut it at Shelter's studio in Hollywood with producer Denny Cordell. Ten songs in about 30 minutes, including "Breakdown" and "American Girl."

At first, almost nobody in America noticed. The band found its audience in Britain, where a tour pushed the album to No. 24 and "Anything That's Rock 'n' Roll" became a UK hit. Back home, "Breakdown" finally reached the Top 40 in early 1978, and the album climbed to No. 55 on the Billboard 200 and went Gold.

Tom left us on October 2, 2017, but "American Girl" still sounds like the first day of summer.

🎸 The debut closed with "American Girl," now one of the band's signature songs. What's your favorite track on the album? 🎸

It was an amazing reunion with so many #MedTwitter voices at #AAMC26!

The speakers were inspiring, and the space to catch up and truly check in with fellow leaders was restorative.

We are always climbing uphill in academic medicine, so inspiration is vital. I hope to see everyone at #AAMC27 in DC! 🌱

This is why I love Bruce so much. He loved the music that I did as a kid. I saw the Rascals do this live several times. It always makes me feel great.🎶🔥❤️😎

“She had won national mentorship awards as one of the best recruiters in American astronomy, but now some of the top astronomy programs were cutting graduate slots & the federal government was eliminating tens of thousands of scientific jobs.”

As another prominent scientist leaves and the pipeline of future talent is disrupted by federal cuts, we must invest in research support.

"It is not really like anything you're going to hear. It's rock and roll, it's got a beat. This record, people will be able to play for more than a month. It's ten good songs, not all the same kind of songs, but they all...arrive." - Tom Petty
