Fuck today.

yikes - not good.

Hope all works out well for one of America's greatest rockers... not looking too great at the moment, per some reports.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2017-10-02, 15:33

yeah, it's TMZ, but..

@TMZ

We're told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support.

Damn, this sucks.

Played daily on 5W Akers from the day it came out 38 years ago this month. Fuck that's a long time ago.

"I'm thinking it may be the last trip around the country," Petty told Rolling Stone in December before the tour kicked off in April.

"It's very likely we'll keep playing, but will we take on 50 shows in one tour? I don't think so. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was thinking this might be the last big one. We're all on the backside of our 60s. I have a granddaughter now I'd like to see as much as I can.

"I don't want to spend my life on the road. This tour will take me away for four months. With a little kid, that's a lot of time."

His Spotify is speaking to me right now. Man what a dogshit day.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2017-10-02, 17:22

Sounds like he's still got a chance ?

What? No. He gone. Stop draggin my heart around.

Edit: Can confirm OTPT's right, but Petty is free falling.

So many great tunes. Was at DTE just a couple months ago.

Tom's daughter not happy with Rolling Stone

by **kingstonlake** 2017-10-02, 19:39

Sounds like he won't be coming round here no more.

by TheReal_LWS 2017-10-02, 20:26

What the heck? He's dead? The Vegas thing caused this to fly under the radar. Do they know it was a heart attack?

by **Rocinante** 2017-10-02, 21:06

He's not dead. Not expected to live.

by **Motown Spartan** 2017-10-02, 21:42

Is he dead or alive? Oops, that’s Bon Jovi. The waiting in the hardest part...

Chip off the block - she recommends we get stoned.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2017-10-02, 21:50

You can stand him up at the gates of hell but he won't back down! Come on Tom!

Down for getting stoned and listening to some Tom petty goose.

After a day like today, I think it's the only viable option. Outside of donating blood.

I have some Hindu Kush that is a blessing on days like today, total mind relaxation.

Manager confirms Petty died tonight, surrounded by family and friends.

Time to get officially stoned and turn on his jams.

Rest easy.

If I had your extra two hours, I'd open a bottle of Red Breast and toast to his next journey. Too much going first thing in the morning, so it'll have to wait til I'm home and can turn his music up really loud.

Don't you eat dinner at like 1:30am? Put your headphones on and let's go.

Wish I could have seen him live. Probably my favorite songwriter ever. At least he didn't kick it at 27, but still a huge bummer.
