Terrible news for Tom Petty

I saw TP in 1979 when his debut album was just getting attention. What a great band back then. His first 3 albums still get time on my table and sound fresh.

Hoping for a successful recovery.

Tragic news. One of the great Icons of my time, just saw the news when I got back to the office. Still trying to digest this un-expressible loss to the music industry and really much much more than a thread in the fabric on my appreciation for songwriting, musicianship, and his personality that in light of his great fame, his feet never really seemed to leave the ground. He is and will be remembered for many generations. He now joins, the Beatles, Elvis, and many more.


My sympathies to his family


The local news is reporting TP is "clinging" to life. Apparently, an official declaration TP is deceased, was premature.

Regardless,  it doesn't sound encouraging. 
Please don't misinterpret this message but I never cared for Tom Petty's music. When I first heard him I thought....oh my gosh, here is the next Bob Dylan, but he seemed to veer more toward pop music and I never cared for his sound. With that said, I know he was loved by many and if indeed he is clinging to life then I wish him a speedy recovery. If indeed he has passed then I offer my most sincere condolences to his family and his devoted fans. Regardless of my opinion he was an icon of popular music.
This is terrible news. Saw TP&THB several times in the early days. Always put on a terrific show and is one of those artists who continued to release great work.

Any fans of 'Lucky?'
