Adam Scott Shares His Review of ‘Full Moon Fever’ From His High School Newspaper
The Parks & Recreation actor letter shared one of the more unique tributes to Petty’s music.

He took particular issue with the album being called “soft rock,” a term he said was reserved “for artists like Air Supply, REO Speedwagon and other nightmares of the late seventies.”
