Turns out I can still learn something new about my favorite band: Ron Blair played the fucking cello on "The Wild One, Forever"?!

It was confirmed by Tom Petty who said: "He doesn’t play the cello," Petty said of Blair. "He just fashioned out enough that he could play the chorus."

#when I saw that on the Wiki page for the self-titled I was like 'WHAT. GET OUT. WHO WAS HIGH WHEN THEY EDITED THIS PAGE'#too bad I don't like that song very much or I'd give Ron more credit/appreciate the song more for bullshitting his way through THAT #(I've played the cello before...very briefly - for like a few months - before switching back to violin and...good lord. LOL yeah...HOW.)#(before you ask: yes envision a girl carrying around an instrument literally as big as if not bigger than her every school day for 2-3 mos.#and then you may ask why the hell I switched from violin to that for even a few months. LMAO)#I keep forgetting that I actually did play the violin for 2 years. or slightly less considering the amount of time I played the cello.#but now I'm just thinking 'I could not play the violin again/be anything but a vocalist because I NEED my DANGLY EARRINGS' 😂#anyway...bless you Ron. I want to give you bullshitter of the decade award for that. (keyword being: WANT TO. but I WON'T.)
