PETTY PUKES
ST. LOUIS—If you don't see much more of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers on MTV, there's a reason.
"I hate videos," Petty said. "If I see one more, I'll puke.
"You can't tell who people are," the blond guitarist added. "Is this guy the bass player? An actor? A shortorder cook? It's boring."
Petty, who's made videos of his own music, is giving up the medium. "Making them was the most boring thing," he said.
As an alternative, Petty and company will film a documentary about their career thus far. Cameron Crowe (Fast Times At Ridgemont High) will direct. "I'LL HAVE AN APPLE PIZZA-HOLD THE OLIVES"
DALLAS—If you still think it's a big deal when the local Shakey's has a banjo player stroll through the salad bar corner, you're showing your age. In a dramatic move meant to add another dimension to their arcade rooms, ShowBiz Pizza Place has installed two Apple II computers in each of their 125 locations.
The computers are "the first to be brought in system-wide in the restaurant industry," said Tim Searson, a ShowBiz spokesman. "And they'll be made available for use by area
schools during our off-hours."
