Tom Petty dead at 66. RIP

[neosapien]

Who was the first?

Hugh Hefner.

I don't have the strength to say goodbye to him twice. Let's just say he's dead...

The song I been singing to my wife since we were teenagers...." You got lucky babe when I found you"

RIP, brotha. I didn't dig him much as a performer, but I did love a lot of his tunes, esp. when others covered them. I guess it really was his last dance with Mary Jane...

That was really petty. Haha, get it?

"My ol man was born to rock, he's still tryin to beat the clock"
Every lyric of this song ("let's get to the point, let's roll another joint") is amazing, but the "ol man" lyric gets me. I'm gonna miss me some Petty.

One of my all time faves
Rip tom

Just two survivors of the Wilbury clan left; Dylan and Jeff Lynne. That clan had infinite promise

So that's #2. Who's the third?

The three were
Monte Hall
Hugh Hefner and
Tom Petty (possibly)

So if the premise is true, Finshaggy dodged a bullet this cycle, him being a famous celebrity and all

If the current news is to be believed he may not want to come out of hiding just yet.

Apparently, he is still alive and on life support but not much more is known.

I'm so tired of being tired
Sure as night will follow day
Most things I worry about
Never happen anyway

They pulled him off life support according to the news. No brain activity

They sure did! I enjoyed a lot of their songs, especially Tweeter and the Monkey man. Can't believe he's gone!! Cat and I were just talking about our favorites of his a few days ago. It kinda creeped me out when I saw the headlines on Yahoo just now.

RIP Tom, you will be missed!

Local radio station is literally playing every fucking song he ever wrote. I'm pretty over it already.
