Tom Petty died Monday morning after life support was terminated, reports TMZ. The singer was found unconscious Sunday night after a massive cardiac arrest. Paramedics were able to restore a pulse, says TMZ, but his family accepted the inevitability of the singers death, and support was terminated this morning.
The Rock and Roller was known for his rhythmic Florida style. He was famous as early at 19. He transplanted himself to Southern California, where he was known for songs that celebrated Southern California living, such as "Free Falling."
Dylan was-is a very strange & dark character. His persona gives me the creeps. He admits that he sold his soul to the devil. I truly don’t see what all the fuss about him is. He may have written some good tunes & inspired many musicians, but the guy is CREEPY & his voice SUCKS!...period.
How did he get that soul backs when he became Born Again?
Musicians are strange creatures no doubt. He has written more great songs than I can even think of. There is no songwriter who can compare not even Cole Porter.
Dylan’s voice is the least important part of his songs though he can make it sound good when he wants to. What is significant about the songs is the fact that the lyrics so often come from the real life around him. His ear for dialogue is incredible. And they address very important topics. Sometimes he is wrong but the song so great you wish it were true.
RIP.
OK, thanks. I listened to ELO, but never really knew who the band members were.
Guess he lingered for a bit. RIP, yes.
Years ago? Had a friend who ran soundboard for TP. World class pothead. A real “wake ‘n bake” sorta guy.

No offense was intended.

Is it still too soon to post it again? LOL! :)
Oh, L-O-V-E! :)
