yet another example of why I feel old…

People are irritated that One Direction fans are only starting to like John Mayer bc one of the band members said their favorite song was “Free Fallin’”….. well, while I do love that version, here’s a news flash, kiddos: that’s not even John Mayer’s song. 

It’s a gorgeous Tom Petty song written in 1989, the year I was born :)

please enjoy the original, here :)

Side note: I had NO idea following a bunch of preppy blogs would simultaneously fill my dash with countless pictures of these boys. I guess I’m out of the age range for their target audience, but I do have a 17 year old sister who I usually hear about these things from, and even SHE’s not on the bandwagon. If it weren’t for tumblr, I doubt I’d even know who they were… and I definitely couldn’t name any of their songs if I tried. I’m assuming this is y’all’s version of NSYNC (or BSB for others… I was always a Justin Timberlake girl myself) so I guess I’ll just wait for it to pass. 

They just all look like they need a haircut. 

Oh God. I’m officially my mother.
