Well today was a crazy one with the continuing news of Vegas, and this back and forth news of Tom Petty. But it's official, he passed at 8:40pm tonight.
He had easily one of the most recognizable voices out there. I honestly can say, his voice probably wasn't the best singing voice, but he was able to use it in such am amazing way that he sounded great. I love so many of his songs and will miss him.
I'm glad he was someone I actually got to see in concert. Being a "younger" guy listening to classic rock, so many of my favorites are either separated or passed away, before I got a chance to see them. Tom Petty is one of the few I have been able to. And I'll never forget that concert either, him "Flying" around the stage arms spread out like a bird. RIP Tom. Heaven awaits.
