Sad sad news. He apparently had a great deal of brain damage when they brought him in, which says that he was laying there not breathing for quite awhile. Regardless of what you think of his music, Tom was an influential artist who was probably the last guy doing it like they used to, i.e. no corporate sponsers or kowtowing to the record company just to sell a couple more records. He did it his own way and was an artist you could believe in. Honesty was paramount with him. RIP to one of the good (great!) ones.
This is a concert honoring George Harrison that Petty played with Jeff lynne, George’s son Dhani, and PRINCE! The whole video is cool, but Prince steals the show in the middle with an incredible guitar solo. And after he finishes, he just tosses the guitar up in the air and walks offstage :lol:
