Petty feels no need to defend his own past use of Confederate imagery.
“I wish I had given it more thought,” Petty said. “It was a downright stupid thing to do.”
In 1985, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released an album titled Southern Accents, which featured a song from the perspective of a southerner who “still blames the North for the discomfort in his life.”
“So my thought was the best way to illustrate this character was to use the Confederate flag,” Petty explained. “I used it onstage during that song, and I regretted it pretty quickly.”
The flag was featured prominently in the marketing for the band’s ensuing tour. In a live record titled Pack up the Plantation: Live!, the band performs in front of a large Confederate flag.
Petty told Rolling Stone that he always regretted using the flag in that manner, and wishes he’d reflected on how others might perceive it.
“People just need to think about how it looks to a black person. It’s just awful. It’s like how a swastika looks to a Jewish person,” he said.
The rocker went on to say that Americans should be more concerned about losing innocent black men to police killings, than a symbol of “southern heritage.”

Tom Petty 'Got Chills' When DNC Played 'Won't Back Down'
From Silversun Pickups to Twisted Sister, artists have been lamenting the use of their music by Republicans in the 2012 presidential campaign. Tom Petty can relate. "I've been on the wrong side where I've had to tell some candidates to stop using my music," he told Rolling Stone on the MTV VMAs red carpet.
But Petty was pleasantly surprised on Wednesday night, when his song "I Won't Back Down" played as President Obama walked onstage at the Democratic National Convention, after former President Bill Clinton's speech. "I got chills," said Petty.

It's been a common TREND with HELLywood types (actors/singers/sports figures/etc) to STAGE their deaths instead of "retiring" I suspect Tommy (rot) boy here might be one of them!
This way they are off the radar and can live anywhere they want. No one will be looking for them!
