Tom Petty rode to the pinnacle of pop music stardom with his beloved and long-running rock band the Heartbreakers, born out of the ashes of a group that flopped when he brought them from Gainesville, Fla., to California in the mid-1970s. He emerged as one of the most vocal and tireless champions of artistic integrity and musical purity in the record business.
Reportedly found unconscious at his Malibu home on Sunday night, Petty was rushed to UCLA’s Santa Monica hospital in full cardiac arrest and died Monday at 66. For hours, multiple media outlets reported his death only to retract those reports; his death was confirmed Monday night by his family’s spokeswoman.

I'm still going to celebrate Petty here at Inner Toob. He had a very interesting career in Toobworld and in the Toonivverse and Skitlandia.......
I hope Tom Petty can get better, but I don't want him to be trapped on this plane if his mind/soul has already taken wing.
All the best, sir....
