RIP Tom Petty

[Good Times Good Times]

I'm hearing the legend has passed......I know what I'm cranking up on the ride home.

Rest well for eternity, Tom.

Man, this week is not starting out well at all! First the Vegas tragedy, now Tom.

They used to have a jukebox in the bowling alley I worked at in college. Seemed like Mary Jane's Last Dance was always on at least once per league. Any time I hear that song it takes me back there...

That bowling alley and the owners I worked for are long gone. Some good memories there (I met my wife in that bowling alley. She was dating one of the guys on my team at the time... )

I HAD NOT HEARD THAT HE PASSED, BUT THAT THEY HAD TAKEN HIM OFF LIFE SUPPORT. MASSIVE CORONARY IS WHAT I HEARD. IF HE IS GONE, RIP INDEED. LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC ALL THE TIME. I THINK HE WAS WAY BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK.

Yeah, his death not reported yet

 

[9andaWiggle]

Yeah, I guess somebody reported it without verifying. No official word. If he can come out of it and have good quality of life, then I hope he makes it.

 

[Djarum300]

I think the AP finally is reporting his death.

 

[livespive]

Yes, R.I.P. Tom.

Damn shame. I wanted to go see him at Wrigley field this past June, but I had a family event I had to attend.

So... I don't recall ever seeing the video for "Mary Jane's Last Dance". Have you guys seen it? It's pretty creepy.

Still... RIP Tom. I enjoyed a lot of your songs.

Indeed, may Tom rest in peace!
