I think it doesn't have anything to do with Tom Petty, rather she has a specific psychological trauma which is peripherally associated with Tom Petty. Example: she had an abusive boyfriend who listened to Tom Petty. Or, she was at a bank robbery and almost lost her life --while a Tom Petty song was on the radio. Afterwards, compartmentalization kicks in, and Tom Petty is stored in the "inaccessible file" that contains the bad memory. Thus, Tom Petty is a pointer to a locked file. Tom Petty = [error message]
