Blasted American Girl on the way home at full volume. What a loss.

Same here... I swear I remember the premiere of the Mary Jane video, and was so psyched for it. RIP.

One of my favorite songs ever. And so fitting. He had such a way with words.

For those who haven't seen it, watch Tom Petty's recent interview in "The Defiant Ones" about Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, especially the story of how Jimmy kind of stole "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" from Tom for Stevie Nicks. I think it is episode 2.

We have lost one of the greats.

Statement from "the Tom Petty family" on his passing:

This may possibly be true as of this moment; I just checked the network sources.

How odd.

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free

I think he's on life support?

RIP, Tom Petty!!

I am heartbroken.

I still haven't seen anything official, especially since the CBS story was retracted.
