A devout Tom Petty fan paid tribute to the late rock icon on his 67th birthday with an event that paid tribute to one of his best-loved lyrics. The event, dubbed the “Vampire Walk,” tipped its hat to the lyrics of “Free Fallin'” and found a group of costumed fans marching the streets. On the track, Petty sings that “All the vampires walking through the valley / Move west down Ventura Boulevard.” So local superfan Mary Soracco decided to bring some true-life vampires together as a tribute: “My friends were joking with me how I wasn’t a Tom Petty fan before this, but how can I not be a fan after this?” Soracco told the Los Angeles Daily News. “I love L.A., and he loved L.A., and that’s the reason why I’m doing this.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com.
