He was flawed. Ugly. Self deprecating in subtle and acceptable doses. Something about him was very real. I compare him to the vibe I get from the Stones. To me he is the epitome of Americana.
Contrast this to a guy like Bruce Springsteen, who is more of an icon. An ideal. A brand. And in terms of song writing couldn't hold Petty's jock.

Mellencamp to me is another guy in the Springsteen camp. So is Bon Jovi.

I agree that Tom Petty was more real than Bruce Springsteen, I wouldn't call Bruce an inferior songwriter.
