F*CKF*CKF*CKF*CK... Tom Petty in critical conditon after cardiac arrest

[VoidTerraFirma]

Tom Petty fucking rules!

I'm a big fan of Petty, because it's all about the song, not about the singer, not about the guitar leads, but the song. That is exactly the same formula used by the Beatles, the Stones, and really the ones that matter in the long run.

The songs that truly endure are almost always deceptively simple.

The NY Times, CNN, BBC, and many other news outlets have yet to report on his death. There's some stuff floating that someone leaked inaccurate information from the hospital.

Barnstock 2017 should do Refugee.

Easy enough song, F# Minor, A, & E, with the bridge being D & B

@VoidTerraFirma and I did Breakdown last time. I'm not going to say I played it very well, but we did it. I know a bunch of Petty tunes and will gladly play them all at the Barn. They are kinda hard to do without a good keyboard player. Benmont is so much of their sound.

From across the canyon a guitar plays
Through an amplifier on long delay
It was an old melody, I recognized the song
I had an amplifier too, so I played along

:(

That band is a goddamned machine. Mike Campbell is the poster boy for playing exactly the right thing for every song, and Benmont Tench is a monster.

Pretty much exactly what I said about Campbell in the musical geniuses thread a couple of weeks back.

Fuck. What a horrible day.

I'm still seeing things that he's still not dead yet. The social media era really sucks sometimes.

 

[DFB]

Yep. The reports are all over.
The no brain activity report is not good even if he is alive.
Best Wishes Tom.

That report says the Petty family have a DNR order for Tom. So he must have been sick.

My first paying gig I sang Break Down, It took me forever to get that intro down ,an d I was so proud of the fact that I could both play the intro and sing the song as well. He has always had a special place for me

Horrible loss, huge influence. I recommend everyone try to get a chance to watch the Running Down a Dream documentary.

Don't go Tom, you weren't done being awesome.

Not necessarily - the DNR could have been Tom's standing request to his family if anything like this should happen.

My wife and I have discussed many times that if either of us were to end up in a similar fashion, that the other has immediate DNR orders.
