![]() damn... was gonna play "American Girl" today, killer guitars in there |
![]() |
![]() Thanks el_musgo! |
![]() |
![]() I hope Tom Petty doesn’t have a “Breakdown” and “Won’t Back Down” and lives to wake up and say “You Got Lucky” to his “American Girl.” Don’t want to see him live like a “Refugee.” |
![]() |
![]() ...uh-oh...I ain't got webz @ home - & if you ain't had FMU for a while - your metabolic tolerance goes down...I could fatally overdose on pure goodness if not careful... |

jeez...TMZ was hoaxed? |
![]() |
![]() He’s not dead, but he has suffered cardiac arrest. “Tom Petty Taken Off Life Support After Being Found Unconscious in Cardiac Arrest: Report” www.billboard.com... |
![]() |
![]() He's not dead, but Lord, he's not feeling very well. |
![]() |
![]() I never read any 'death' reports, but was pretty consistently seeing 'cardiac arrest' and 'life support'. That in itself is rarely good news, having lost two colleagues fairly recently who went that route. They never woke up. |
![]() |
![]() So Tom Petty is a terrorist? |
![]() |
![]() NY Daily News has reported that Petty's been taken off life support. |
![]() |
![]() Tom is dead. |

![]() RIP Tom |

![]() The Hoax was from over the weekend. How weird is that? |
![]() Sad sad news about Tom. | |

ah fuck. :( RIP TOM. Sad. | |
![]() |
![]() Bummer. Say, I would not be surprised if the Frogs guy's last will and testament specified that 1) if Tom Petty is dead, then start a rumor that he is NOT dead and that his death is fake news (and Scott was a victim of this), or 2) if Tom Petty is alive, start a rumor that he is dead. (Too soon?) |

This fuckin' year. This fuckin' day!! | |
![]() |
![]() i get all my news and fake news from FMU |
![]() |
![]() Only 66!!!! :-( |
![]() |
![]() In light of the Catatonian vote for independence from Spain? Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead. |
![]() |
![]() Everything continues to be terrible. |
![]() |
![]() I meant to say: “Catalonian” Geez do I suck at words. |
Mon. 10/2/17 4:13pm
McGreivey:
Rolling Stone and TMZ are saying he's dead. (That sounds kinda like a joke, actually.) No, it appears not to be a hoax. | |
![]() |
![]() what a day |
![]() |
![]() I thought "Catatonian" was a bit of wordsmithing, a nod to the fact that endless shittiness is leading to general catatonia. |
Mon. 10/2/17 4:15pm
McGreivey:
Oh. And this Chris Forsythe track is groovy. | |

Why would they try to obstruct your work that way? |
![]() |
![]() Brian--because they are slave-driving assholes who don't realize that we get more done with our own tunes on. |
![]() |
![]() Tom Petty was supposed to play 2 shows in NYC Nov 6th & 7th. |
![]() |
![]() Petty just played here a few weeks ago. I didn't see him, but know plenty of people who did. |
![]() |
![]() I'm lucky, no firewall at my office. Technically, I could watch porn if I really wanted to (I don't). |
![]() |
![]() @northguineahills: Tough gig. |
![]() |
![]() cripes. sad. |
![]() |
![]() A substantial number of sources are now going with dead. I think the chances of this being a hoax are slim. |
![]() |
![]() Considering I basically had no gig for 3 years, I'm rather happy to have a near dream job. To bad it isn't in NYC (the only drawback). |

![]() ugh, what a rough day |

SCOTT!!!!! I've always loved this song. Hate to say it but some rhythm element in the background reminds me of the sounds of gunshots. Maybe this (!) will help bring about common sense gun control. OMG, I did not know TP had passed away until now. WOW. | |

Hi Scott! .. Saw TP & the Heartbreakers only once, playing with Dylan at MSG in '86. I clearly recall wearing bellbottoms to that show. Only saw the Minutemen once too; did not wear bellbottoms. | |
![]() |
![]() @northguineahills: I meant Tom Petty has a tough gig trying to play 2 shows in NYC November 6th an 7th considering he’s now no longer with the living. |
![]() |
![]() @jakegould: Too soon |
![]() |
![]() We'll just have to reanimated him, or use a hologram, Jake. |

I'll never forget when Tom Petty took on the record companies and refused to release his album if they raised the price of records. I was just a kid and I remember thinking "this guy is one of the good guys." |

This Ariel Pink is nice. And I mean that in the best possible sense. Also, I think catatonic in Catalan might be catatunic. I dunno. It seemed more sensible at the beginning of the sentence. | |

Tom Petty was one of the artists that even in the earliest days of punk you didn't have to reject him -he was so cool squares and freaks could embrace him in equal measure - so few could claim that ability to connect to us all - peace | |
