This day in music history.

April 28, 1999, A study is released that finds that 27% of the most popular songs from 1996 and 1997 contained a clear reference to either alcohol or illicit drugs. On this same day Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When told of the honor Tom said "Huh?, hey man, got a light?"
Mary Janes Last Dance by The Heartbreakers
She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin mom who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on a Indiana night
Well she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin
I said, I dig you baby but I got to keep movin...on,
keep movin on
Last dance with mary jane

One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again
Well I don't know but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
Im tired of screwing up, Im tired of goin down
Im tired of myself, Im tired of this town
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Honey put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come cause I cant stay long
Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again
there's pidgeons down in market square
she's standing in her underwear
Lookin down from a hotel room
Nightfall will be comin soon
Oh my my, oh hell yes
you've got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit my last number, I walked to the road
Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again
