Letter to the Editor-Tom Petty's crew: Rockers with heart

[Refugee 7]

Thank you for publishing the article by teenager Griffin Black ["Guitar hero," Style, Aug 14]. While other music stars and celebrities behave badly and receive significant media attention, this heartwarming story shows that rock-and-roll still has class.

Heartbreakers management, Mike Campbell and Tom Petty showed interest and enthusiasm in a sincere young musician and his specially made guitar, gave him advice, and showed him kindness.

Griffin's experience is the best concert review I've read in a long time. This young lad has a bright future.

Rock on, Griffin!
