R.I.P. Tom Petty

[Hoof Hearted]

I'm assuming this isn't fake news...

I was always kinda hit and miss with this Artist, but no doubt he was a force in the industry.

Ummm...

Apparently he might not be quite dead yet...there are conflicting reports...stay tuned.

 

[Danbones]

[DaSleeper]

He's on life support.....not dead yet!

 

[Curious Cdn]

He's done snuffed it.
Won't come around here no more.

What a heartbreaker.

I thought the report was they pulled the plug. Could be the heart kept beating.

A guy called the local radio station years ago asking for the DJ to play "I Was Barney Rubble" by Tom Petty! lol!

He was serious and had misheard the lyrics. The song of course was "I Was Born a Rebel".

 

[darkbeaver]

I like his music.

His sales will pick up now of course.

You don;t want to hear that tune again do you? I always liked it. The decades go by the music continues faster louder better

Yikes! Tom Petty's daughter just skewered Rolling Stone Magazine for falsely reporting her father's death! She has a way with words, I'll give her that.

“My dad is not dead yet but your ****ing magazine is. Your (sic) slime, has-been pieces of tabloid dog shit. You put the worst artists on your covers, do zero research. How dare you report that my father has died just to get press because your articles and photos are so dated. I will ****ing shit down your throat and your family’s. Try not being a Trump vibe. This is my father not a celebrity. An artist and human being. **** u.”

Tommy Petty is a great rocker. I hope he pulls through.

 

[darkbeaver]

Very pleasent tunes, he should live forever. Nothing to worry about he's just got the sniffles.

 

[bill barilko]

.... Nothing to worry about he's just got the sniffles.

Truth is that after years of using Heroin he's circling the drain......

Hang in there, Tom!

Great Rocker from the 70s. Really kool music back in the day.

Prince, Bowie, Michael Jackson, George Michael, now Petty...seems like many of the celebrities/musicians from our youth are biting it at relatively young ages.

Being a Rockstar punishes the body I suppose. Guess this trend will just continue with more of our idols biting the dust as the Boomer generation approaches their senior years.
