A sort of lesser known Tom Petty song that I've always liked.

RIP TP. You will be missed!

Would be nice if the news would find one second to let people know. One show mentioned he may have had a heart attack.

RIP

On the treadmill again today and from my library I hear a perfect SBR line from TP.
"Even the losers, get lucky sometimes."
Peace TP

Gainesville's finest. Damn RIP.

And that's saying something. Petty, Don Felder (Eagles), Steven Stills (CSNY) all Gainesville guys ... also all of the original Heartbreakers were Gainesville natives.

Petty and his band sold about 200 records on a local label and decided they were ready for the big time, so they got in a van drove to LA. As it happens, they did land a major label. Usually they would have just said Tom and whoever you write with make the cut and we'll provide drummer, keys, etc. but all of the guys more than held their own. Cambell (guitar) and Tench (keys) are especially talented.

I highly recommend watching the Petty documentary on Netflix. I liked it so much I got Petty: The Biography, by Warren Zanes. I liked that even better. Petty is an interesting guy, talented, driven, not even that likable (just aloof, not a bad guy), but if you get his story you'll get why he is completely respected by legends of rock. Dylan & George Harrison loved and admired the guy and they and Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne all considered Petty basically the leader of the Wilberrys. (Orbison was the most adored.) Stevie Nicks seriously tried to join the Heartbreakers (and leave Fleetwood Mac) - all Petty would say to that was 'but you're a girl'.

Boss lyricist, too. No wasted words, pure Petty.

1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a "do not resuscitate" order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live through the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency.1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room.

Yeah, his daughter said that he is still alive.

The Instagram account @dadlivesmatteronelove — which several people have attributed to Annakim Violette, the daughter of Tom Petty — posted a searing attack on Rolling Stone today amid widespread reports of the legendary rockers death. If we take the account at face value, Violette has been posting tributes to her father all day, and one such post is one of his old Rolling Stonecovers, where she goes off on the magazine for its “tabloid” nature, and for reporting his death when it has not been confirmed:

Very sad, been a fan and listening to his music since I was a kid. The guy is a legend. I've always loved this concert vid, how badazz that the whole audience knows the song so well that they can sing it back perfectly to him without any help.

Hope he pulls through man, love Tom Petty

Saw him live in the mid 2000s at PNC in NJ as a senior in high school right around graduation time and almost everyone was there from our class...one of the best times I ever had at a concert, basically a last hurrah for us... Back then the parking lot tailgates were a fukkin zoo with no supervision and it was basically anything goes if anyone on here is familiar with the venue

**themike78** · 10-02-17, 10:39 PM

He didn't even die. It's all fake news. Why did these news places report him dead. That's horrible.

**The Giant** · 10-02-17, 11:10 PM

I think he just died.
