One of my favorite Petty tunes, but I'll always associate to the movie, 'Silence of the Lambs', when one of the victims was listening to it in her car before she snatched by the wacko.

This is so sad. 

 

I'm a 66 year old American Girl who breaks out in a smile every time I hear that song.

I remember seeing him in concert, it was a great show . One of my favorite songs is " stop dragging my heart around " , that he does with Stevie Nicks.❤️

Oooh! Mine too!Heart

 

Of course I'm a huge Stevie Nicks fan too! I've seen both in many concerts!

I think I have every CD Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers ever made, but one of my most favorite CDs with Tom is when he helped form the supergroup 'The Traveling WIlburys' in 1980's.

 

It featured Tom, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeffrey Lynne and Roy Orbison.

 

They only did this one 3 CD set to fulfill a contractural obligation that George Harrison had to a record label to provide one more CD and enlisted his buddies to help him with. 

 

It was actually the last song Roy Orbison recorded before he died.

 

If you like any of these guys, it's an awesome CD, available to listen to clips and buy the CD at the big "A" site.

 

I love it and play it all the time!


@KingstonsMomLoved The Traveling Wilburys!!! I saw them live- also Tom with the Heartbreakers several times. One show Stevie Nicks joined him on stage! Great memories of a great musician. He will be missed. Woman Sad

Re: Tom Petty Has Passed Away

I read he was taken off life-support but had not yet died.

 

What great songs he wrote--I hope he passes gently. It doesn't sound as if he can recover, though. Just from what I read.

Re: Tom Petty Has Passed Away

Sigh, this is getting messier by the minute.  Apparently LAPD inadvertently gave out incorrect information and does not have confirmation of his passing.
