I hope not. I like Tom Petty.

[Circa 1824]

"Stop dragging my heart around" is a fabulous song.

[marv2]

He's been taken off of life support; no brain activity. He is gone.

He had so many fans of his music that I wished this time they would consider a public funeral,but that is not likely to happen. Rest in peace Tom.

I'm frustrated with the way the media handled this. First he's gone, then he isn't but is clinging to life. They need to get their facts straight! This happened when Ollie Woodson of the Temptations passed too. RIP Tom

Well when he was declared brain dead, he was gone but continued to breathe without the life support.

I still can't believe it. I just Tom this pass summer in concert. May he rest in peace. This is my favorite Tom Petty song Free Fallin'. Can't believe this was so recent:

Now I will always remember Tom Petty because of this video Don't Come Around Here No More". The ending really got me:

Tom's Last song he performed:

[rrussi]

He was from Gainesville, FL. Last weekend at the Florida Gators game, which both of my brothers went to, the half-time included a Tom Petty tribute and the entire gathering of people sang along on the songs.
Also, recently read an interview in which Tom Petty said the very first 45rpm record he bought was "Playboy" by the Marvelettes.
