The link in the first post is being updated. No word.As in he's dead or recovered?!?
Not dead, but not looking good.... TMZ story update: "UPDATE: We're told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support. "As in he's dead or recovered?!?
Agree about his first 5 albums. That said I thought his most recent Hypnotic Eye was fantastic. That got more airplay in my car than any other CD I bought that year.I love the songs off his first 5 albums as much as anything from that era. Refugee, Breakdown, American Girl, Here comes my Girl, The Waiting, Don't do me like that, You got Lucky, etc. Even Stop Draggin' My Heart Around with Stevie. Always figured eventually I'd see him live. :(
I know its cheesy and overplayed but holy hell free falling is an absolute classic, so good, so simple so well written. Tells a great story and I listen to it every time I hear on the XMAmerican Girl is such a great song
Exactly. They were literally 1/2/3 on my list of artists I was going to try to see next. Man, this sucks.Dammit. If losing Prince and Bowie felt like losing epochal talents, losing Petty feels like losing a guy who might have been the very best at a narrower range of music. I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't love American Girl/The Waiting era TFP.
Can we get the rest of that list so we can destroy it.Exactly. They were literally 1/2/3 on my list of artists I was going to try to see next. Man, this sucks.
