RIP Tom Petty

[Purp]

In high school a group of us went to Starplex I think it was called back then, in Dallas to see him. We boozed pretty heavily before hand and on the way. It was cold balls, I mean freezing.

We get there and stumble my way out to a spot on the lawn had lawn and I remember him coming out on stage. Next thing I remember is being woken up by my buddies bc the concert was over. I somehow talked a nice couple out of their sleeping bag to keep warm and as I got my bearings and stood up, I puked everywhere! I wiped my mouth on the sleeping bag then we went home. Never saw a second of his entire set. Not proud of that one.

I was at that show. Great concert. I've seen some great shows in that venue.

How much longer can Keith Richards, zombie rockin' roller last.?

Keith Richards died in the 90’s. The amount of technology his estate can afford to keep up appearances is astonishing.

He and Tupac have been best buds for two decades.

Did some drunk guy get in your sleeping bag?

Just recently posted on facespace that he and Chris Stapleton are the greatest living songwriters (no offense SnoSki). Hope I'm not wrong on that, but coming to the hospital brain dead we can be assured the Tom we knew is gone!! Big salty tears coming out today.

You drastically spelled "Bob Dylan" wrong.

Sadly, it's official now. His family just issued a statement. Brutal.

"Won't Back Down" better be blaring on Saturday.

Man, what a boaty day.

Wasn't at the game. Did they play Petty?

I have no love lost for Florida, but was glad to see that they honored Gainesville's favorite son:

They played several tunes after the game. Could hear it all the way to Kroger. Sweet tribute.
