One of those guys who was just dependably good throughout his career.  He didn't do it with flash or jumping on trends or trying to tear down walls and do it in an entirely different fashion, he just did it by doing it the way it's supposed to be done: straight ahead rock 'n' roll.  And on "American Girl" he accomplished 3:33 of absolute rock 'n' roll perfection.  One of those songs that, had he never recorded another note, he'd still be considered one of the greats for.  But for Petty it was just the tip of the iceberg.  He'll be missed.
