May he rest in peace.

Rest in Peace, Tom. I grew up in Gainesville, so as you can imagine, I grew up hearing Tom Petty's music everywhere. He's one of my all-time favorites. Thanks for all the great music, man.

Now apparently not dead, but clinging to life. CBS reported prematurely.

Yeah, but the family has a DNR on him. It's only a matter of time.

Not clear that he is dead from what I've read.

I sure hope not.

I remember Petty & Dylan playing with the Dead in DC. He looked about 12feet tall on stage. Hopefully he will be jamming with Jerry, Hendrix and the vast horde of entertainers on stage in Valhalla. May he live well in the next life.

CNN just reported that he's gone. This year's been quite the roller-coaster, and it ain't quite over yet. By the pricking of my thumbs...

Rest In Peace.

I’m so sad.

Saw him in concert once. He seemed so young and alive I guess I just thought I’d see him in concert again someday.

Light perpetual.
