Tom Petty

Post by PhuBai68 » Mon Oct 02, 2017 7:27 pm

One of my favorites, sad to learn he had a heart attack.
There are conflicting stories - dead, brain dead on life support, brain dead removing life support and in hospital.
The song Strangered In The Night is what got me hooked on listening to him and The Heartbreakers.


Well it was dark at midnight
There was hardly any moon
And no one really saw much
No one was really sure
But something didn't seem right
Something was kinda queer
A roar turned into whispers
Everyone stood there

As the sound spilt the night
They ran hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Like strangers in the night

Well I didn't see no shotgun
I didn't see no knife
But I saw this crazy black guy
With the demon in his eye
And I heard him say "white man"
I've seen that silver cue
You don't remember me well
But I remember you

As the sound spilt the night
They ran hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Like strangers in the night

Well the knife just left his fingers
As the black guy took his aim
White guy's head exploded
The black guy howled in pain
Then everybody scattered
I heard some woman scream
God damn you old black bastard
You've blown away my dreams


As the sound spilt the night
They ran hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Like strangers in the night

Petty writes about his drug use, particularly heroin. May have contributed to his early death.

Petty got lucky when Mike Campbell found him. :)

Tom Petty UPDATE: It appears CBS news of Tom Petty’s death was premature. As of 7:40PM CDT Monday, the LA Times, CBS News and the LAPD are reporting that Tom Petty is still hospitalized in critical condition, and is off life support but has not died.

Tom Petty was taken to UCLA Medical Center for a cardiac incident Sunday night, but as of 1:15 p.m. PDT Monday there was no official confirmation that the 66-year-old rock musician had died.

The Los Angeles Police Department, which had been cited in a report by CBS News and subsequently by other outlets that picked up the CBS news story, tweeted Monday afternoon that “Initial information [that Petty died] was inadvertently provided to some media sources.”

We’re sending our prayers and best wishes to Tom Petty and his family at this difficult time.
