Happy 100th Birthday Tom Petty!

Forums:

Old man take a look at your life.  What an amazing career.  One of the original Rock N Roll pioneers.  Southern Man Tom Petty was born in Florida.  A great songwriter with a heart of gold Petty celebrated with his 100,000th concert at Red Rocks after considering doing it at The Gorge down by the river.  Don't be denied all the great tunes he has written through the years, check out his greatest hits compilation.  He's a sugar mountain of guitar riffs too.  His stage presence is like a hurricane after the gold rush.

 

Tom Petty, long may you run.

Happy Birthday Tom! Pretty amazing career. Hard to believe he's already 100. 

I wish he didn't rip off Paul Westerberg though: 

O: Did you mind Petty swiping your "rebel without a clue" line? [That line, from The Replacements' "I'll Be You," turned up in Petty's "Into The Great Wide Open." –ed.]

PW: It miffed me a little bit, but it's all... I'd steal something back from him, if I could find something I liked.

 

 

Tom Petty is 66 years old and stealin from other artists is as old as rock n roll.   

Tom Petty is a bowl of plain pasta.

RIP Tom Petty.

 

I didnt even know he was sick.

The torpedoes....

Tom Petty knocked it out of the park at BottleRock this past weekend. He said something like "get ready for 100%, unadulterated rock and roll!" Right before first song. Festival highlight for sure 

So adore you, hall

What a Petty conversation this has turned out to be.
