Tom Petty dead at 66

[famicommander]

After being found unconscious and not breathing, Tom Petty was taken to a hospital for cardiac arrest. It was determined he had no brain activity, and so he was taken off life support and has passed away.

There goes another one.

A lot younger than I thought he was. A shame.

 

[famicommander]

 

[cdamm]

a personal favorite musician of mine. what a shame.

 

[ChopstickSamurai]

Oh man. RIP Tom.

 

[100proof]

One of the coolest motherfuckers in the game. Damn shame.

 

[Syn]

Almost missed this with the Vegas tragedy.

Don't come around here no more...RIP

 

[theMot]

Damn! One of the few radio friendly musicians I liked and another of the travelling willburys gone

 

[NeoSneth]

Never understood the appeal of his music, but he was a lot younger than I expected.
tis a shame.

Same. I have a short list of classic rock bands I like, and he's definitely up there. RIP.

 

[Thierry Henry]

You get into your late fifties, people start falling like flies all around you. I don't take life for granted any more. I'm really glad to be here.

Damn shame.

R.I.P.

He was one of those musicians it was hard not to like, even if his stuff was not your favorite genre.

RIP

So many classic tracks but my favorite is probably:

He's still alive, people... CBS news report was inaccurate. Might as well say RIP now because he isn't expected to make it through the day, but there's (virtually zero) hope!

 

[Ip Man]

besides the chick who got kidnapped by buffalo bill singing american girl, i've never really heard any of his other music up until now, and it sounds pretty good. may he rest in peace.

He truly won't back down.

Same here, he looked 60 when he was making music with George Harrison.
Godspeed

 

[Electric Grave]

Never liked him, never cared for his music at all, it really sucks, horribly. Such a boring monotone emancipated fuck, the next few weeks of tom petty's shitty music going on everywhere is gonna be a bitch.

 

[Lets Gekiga In]

Tom Petty made me proud to be a Central Floridian.

 

[Neo Ash]

I was very shocked to hear the news of his death. I spun a few tracks today in memory of him.

 

[Neo Ash]

Well...turns out he might actually be alive....which is great news. Fuck the media cock suckers!

Do you hate freedom, bro?

Same here, maybe he had some kind of medical condition all along?

I was re-watching the video for "Into the Great Wide Open" (see my above post) which has Johnny Depp in it and thinking to myself Petty was a dead ringer for Depp's then future portrayal of Willie Wonka.

Edit: I was always confused about him. I was off on the medical condition thing.

Rolling Stone, like most of the AMERICAN MEDIA, is infected with irresponsible people who will do anything to get you to watch/read. It affects most of the people on this site in some way.

Sick times.

Look at what Tom Petty's daughter has to say:

Agreed. You can think things will someday get better. But with internet, social media and billions of apes interacting across the world, I wouldn't have a problem with the earth getting slammed by a metiorite tomorrow morning
