Alt: Howie Epstein in the video for You Got Lucky by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Petty “stole” Epstein from Del Shannon after Ron Blair quit the Heartbreakers. “I get home, and Del Shannon’s on the phone, and he’s furious. He said, ‘Don’t take Howie. He’s the guy I count on. He runs my band. How could you take Howie? You’re my friend. You can have anybody you want. Don’t take Howie.’ I said, ‘Del, I love you… I’m taking Howie.’”
