Kid Rock further explained what it meant to him to get to interact with Petty in this manor.

"I'd be like, 'This is f--king awesome,' because I love Tom Petty. I didn't really know him. So I'd go up there and drop the weed off. And I'd be in his dressing room and like, he'd be like, 'So what's up, man?' I'd be like, 'Nothing.'"

He noted that he and Petty had "nothing in common."
