Tom Petty RIP

This one hurts. I loved all his music and was struck today how many of his lyrics that I remembered today as I played and sang his stuff. Big loss.

my introduction to Tom Petty was back when i first saw his MTV video for Don't Come Around Here no More. one of many great songs he did including his anthem for Southern California, Free Fallen.

a lot of celebrities i've grown up with in one way or another have passed away already this year prior to Petty...
Carrie Fisher, Miguel Ferrer, Richard Hatch, Gordon Henry, Bill Paxton, Roger Moore, Len Wein, Harry Dean Stanton and Hugh Hefner.

My favorite is "Breakdown" live when the audience began singing the lyrics and Petty let them sing several verses and then commented "You all are gonna put me out of a job." Another one of my favorites gone.

This is so sad. Who on earth thought Tom Petty would go before his friend and mentor Bob Dylan. Love all his songs, except American Girl. Buffalo Bill killed that for me, every time I ever hear it now I get goosebumps.

Not to mention The Traveling Wilburys. Real sad about this, he was just 3 months younger than me.
