Tune In Notice: Tom Petty, ready for his Emmy?

A $105.00 cable bill in Los Angeles doesn't always guarantee you the Sundance Channel, so this writer won't be tuning into that station's broadcast of "Runnin' Down A Dream," a documentary on Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers from "Last Picture Show" director Peter Bogdanovich.

The 238-minute film proposes to look at three-decades at one of rock's best no-frills, no-flash bands, and could, possibly, from the opinions of people we trust, be worthy of an Emmy.

If you get Sundance, set your DVR, as the film is only available at a major big box retailer that won't be plugged here, so Netflix/Blockbuster users will be out of luck, at least for the time being.

Here's a trailer, but scroll down for the Sundance link.

The above teaser paints the two-part film as a pretty standard interview/live shot rock 'n' roll documentary, but the Sundance Channel Web site has a more revealing clip.

The shot breaks down the evolution of "The Waiting," taking the listener through its life-cycle in a brief four minutes, letting the viewer witness its growth from one riff to a full-blown song inspiring the likes of Eddie Vedder.
