Tom Petty dead at 66.

[Flame]

Tom was found unconscious in his home this morning after a Cardiac Arrest and later died in the hospital. Today has been a swarm of tragedies.

UPDATE: Tom is in critical condition. Initial reports were incorrect.

Another great one is gone. Rest in peace.

I used to listen to "You Don't Know How It Feels" every night to go to sleep. I found it to be relaxing.

R.I.P.

Ouch that hurts. Tom Petty music was a big part of my life at certain point. RIP Tom!

Now there's a character. Probably I should grab his biography.

Another of the greats gone. Sad day for music. RIP Tom. And thanks for all the great songs.

Yep his music is good, and he was a master story teller especially to those that knew what his encrypted messages meant. One of my favorite songs was 'Learning to Fly'.

That's sad. Another unique artist has left us.

But, ... the creative spark remains, and there will be new artists to come, and they will share their unique vision and skill with us, as Tom Petty did.

Tom's music is awesome and he will be missed.

 

[England my lionheart]

Loved this

RIP

I think its a good opportunity to ask "What if Tom never created his songs?" and to spur ourselves on -- all those of us who have a book or song or some other creative thing in our heads. Lets get them out of our heads and see what they can do.

Always have loved Tom Petty, but especially loved his work with the super-supergroup Traveling Wilburys

Here's hoping he doesn't join George and Roy just yet.

The Traveling Wilburys help me put thousands of miles on the road. It was like having a beloved companion in the cab.
