RIP Tom Petty

[Flaky Pudding]

I am very shocked, sad, and disappointed to hear that one of my favorite singers, Tom Petty passed away yesterday evening. I've always loved his music and always will. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I'm really trying hard not to cry right now, . I hope that his legacy will live on and he will continue to gain future generations of fans as the years go on

Not to sound rude or anything, but I knew he would not survive at all when he was taken off life support. He was after all, pretty much brain dead (to me).

Yeah I didn't expect him to pull through either. Still, I always enjoyed this music and it's a shame to hear we lost another rock legend.

Devastating news...I did not expect him to die so soon of cardiac arrest! But now he's definitely in a better place: jamming up in heaven with Prince, David Bowie, and other deceased rock legends that we've recently lost. Rest in peace, Mr. Petty. Thanks for 40+ years of inspiring music.

He struggled with heroin addiction for a long time, from what I've been hearing. Don't know how long he stayed clean.

That's probably my favorite Tom Petty song

And I'm runnin' down a dream....
Never would come to me....

My favorite Tom Petty song has always been this little Christmas jam of his:

I also read that he was a smoker.
