Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttt!
I didn't care much for Tom Petty's music at first, he was the anti-Frank Zappa. With time, I started to clue into his lyrics and found out he was closer to Zappa than I though. His music was deceptively simple but his lyrics were just as sharp, whimsical instead of mocking.
The Rodney Dangerfield song.

Yes, Petty wrote that song after meeting the legendary comic at a resort in St Thomas - and yes they did share a heater. His songs were all about dealing with life's little complications - like waiting on a date.
RIP, such a unique voice.
Celebrity deaths always come in threes, Hugh Hefner, Monty Hall and now Tom Petty.

That really sucks. RIP.
When I was growing up "Running Down a Dream" was played without fail at all the arenas we visited some time during the game.
Great song.

Great song.
My heart is so heavy today. I can't tell you. Glad I got to see him at the ACC this past July.
The first time I saw him was in the late 80s. I've gone to every single show he played in Toronto since.
This is another beautiful song he wrote with Jeff Lynne.

You must not have many friends. Instead of coming across as a cheese eating high school boy (thanks Moe Berg) join the glee club.
I wanted to go but didn't manage to get tickets. RIP Tom Petty.
Always loved this video:
