Lived up to his name. The heartbreakers.

is it funny or ironic that he died of a heart attack ?

10/2/2017 4:22:30 PM

did he have a last dance with Mary Jane?

10/2/2017 4:39:53 PM

neither, as the term Heartbreaker has nothing to do with heart attacks

Def sucks. I first saw him in Raleigh a number of years ago (hadn't even heard of the guy) and it was like Woodstock there. Played amazingly.

I saw him maybe a month or two ago in Queens. Crazy.

Accidental overdose....

That really sucks

1/19/2018 11:18:46 PM

He had emphysema, so he would have died anyways. FROM SMOKING WEED.

1/19/2018 11:26:51 PM

better than an intentional overdose i guess?

How is that an accident, exactly? How do you accidentally take all of that?

1/21/2018 12:06:49 PM

^ he had a couple chronic illnesses and a broken hip I think but yeah. May have been over it

1/21/2018 12:44:18 PM

^^Bc it sounds and feels better for the family to feel like the problem here was not Tom wanting to trip to fucking Jupiter every day when they can just pretend like having 4 different opiates/opioids in his system was somehow a valid pain management system which confused him

1/22/2018 11:25:07 AM

It's an "accident" because he wasn't trying to die..

Some people purposely commit suicide by OD'ing. Petty wasn't doing this, so his death was an "accident"

1/22/2018 12:04:52 PM

^^You win.

^I'm fine with calling it an "accident", just not an accident.

1/27/2018 6:34:18 PM

If you'd prefer, you could call it unintentional.

But your petty preoccupation with terminology indicates a willful lack of understanding. So it's probably best that you not remark on this subject at all.

1/27/2018 7:06:51 PM

^I WOULD prefer.

I liked Tom Petty and the Traveling Wilburys. I'm sorry that it ended this way.
