This past weekend I re-watched the George Harrison documentary that came out a few yrs ago, and when fellow Wilbury Roy Orbison died from a heart attack in 1988, Harrison called Petty and sardonically said, "Aren't you glad it wasn't you?"
Sigh.

Such a knack for writing the perfect hook....whether on the guitar or lyrics.
Damn the torpedos is a seminal album
Sucks

That sucks,he really had an amazing oevoure going back 3 plus decades. I saw him 3 times,last time a year and a half ago with his pre-Hartbreakers band Mudcrutch the first night of the Belmont Stakes Betting Challenge. Such great American music.

Totally sucks.
Seen him in concert several times. (Definitely one of my all time favs.)
Rest in peace.

I thought his best was Refugee, but all his stuff was good.
The Traveling Wilbury's were a good venue for him.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are legends in my mind.
And Runnin' Down A Dream has got to be one of the best 'driving in my car' songs ever.
Man, I'm gettin' old.
