WHAT?! Damn. Loved his music, always a fan. Saw him at Jazz Fest this year, he was playing at the same time as Lorde so we missed a lot of his set, but what we saw was great nonetheless. RIP Tom, you'll be missed.
Oh man. I had always hoped to see him live, and never made it.
Holy crap that was out of nowhere. Had a chance to see him at Red Rocks last May and never pulled the trigger. Cherish your moments.
Total Legend. Sucks he is gone. What is that now? Bowie, Petty, and Cornell?
Holy cow. This is a shocker.
aw man, this one really hurts. . .
I can accept things like Hollywood or Rock legends passing at 80 or 90 years old, but every time I outlive or am close to the age of someone I grew up with dying it really rocks me to the core. Tom Petty is my dad's age, so I will make sure I give him a call today. If anything I appreciate the perspective mortality gives me. The Broncos are 3-1, the Rockies are in the playoffs, and I have my health. Gonna pick my kid up from school today and just enjoy the distractions of Monday Night Football tonight. Rough day but I really do need to get my ass kicked with reality some days.
Still one of my favorites from him. I learned not too long ago with a doc on Tom Petty this was originally written for Stevie Nicks but Tom liked his vocals and version better. lol
and "free fallin" is on the radio in the store I'm in. . .
He's learning to fly because now he has his wings.
RIP.
