Retired 22 years
I saw an interview with him one time where they were talking about how he was advised early in his career to change his name because nobody would take the name Petty (his real name) seriously in the rock and roll world. He refused because he was proud to be a Petty.

What idiot would think there was something wrong about being named Petty?

Compare to some of the current made up names in music.
