The Dead Thread

If you don't know much about Tom Petty, then I recommend this special about him. Well worth a look as it certainly shows how he stood up to the industry.

There is a suggestion that he isn't actually dead and is still fighting for his life. Really hope it's true.

That sucks. Petty, to me, was a one of those people who seemed quite level-headed and genuine and respected by all. I was a fan of him as a person, even though I rarely listen to his music (though he could write some darn good songs).
