Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Runnin' Down A Dream by Steve MatteoPop music's relationship with film and television has been a tenuous one. At times they have been crucial to its development, but in the case of MTV and now in the age of American Idol they have also had an adverse effect. Oddly enough, at the same time that American Idol and its ilk have placed more emphasis on the looks and personality of people wanting to make it in music, the film world has been using music in movies better than ever before.
