Dennis G Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 From what I'm seeing, he suffered a massive heart attack at home last night, was rushed to the hospital, but when found had no brain activity. The decision was made to take him off of life support. This really sux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Biggest thing to come out of my hometown... I really thought he had a lot more years coming, though I hear he was struggling physically on the last tour. Sad loss for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Tom Petty & The Heartbreaker's were a band I could always count on, to futher the type/style music I love most! What a SAD day, indeed, with his passing, on top of the senseless Music Festival massacre, in Vegas! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Put on Even The Losers. Think about being a kid again and that Hammond. Man, that Hammond, makes me quiver to this day. We was hanging around Gainesville FL since we plan on retiring there. I sing American Girl and it's always been fun and there's a couple places that actually yell for it. I don't sing so great but then, neither did Tom. So Mrs and I wheeled up past the college and there was 441, so we roared our way up it a ways, hooting at the tops of our lungs. Wednesday night we's playing a bunch of Petty. And getting bombed. Goddamn it. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddamn it. rct I was just playing American Girl in Gainesville in a bar on Saturday night. We all grew up in TP's shadow over here. Our goal as upstarts was to play the places he played, like Dubs.

saturn Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yeah. I sing the Petty songs and parts in my bands. I have trouble with the chorus' though. This one was especially sad for me. Of all the celebrities and musicians who have passed, only SRV and now Tom Petty actually felt personal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
