Been on a Petty tear all month. Surprised Highway Companion didn't get much love. Same with the "She's the One" soundtrack. Top 5 for me.

Tom Petty died of an accidental drug overdose. He was apparently mixing medications.

Just saw that. Not a big shocker or anything, but makes it hurt a little more.

The same thing Philip Seymour Hoffman died of, just different drugs. Technically not an overdose though. An important distinction. Last edited by gweeps; 01-19-2018 at 08:21 PM. |

From what I read, he was in severe back pain and took too much. I don't fault the guy for that.

When I saw him at Red Rocks you could tell he wasn’t moving well, and then they toured another three months after that. This sucks, because he was trying to pull through for the band and the fans and ultimately succumbed to the pain.

Absolutely. Prescription painkillers are no joke and need to be taken way more seriously and those on them need to be watched more closely for their own good. Ugh, what a horrible situation.

These medicines are highly regulated. They have the scripts in computers and they track everybody. The painkillers are deadly dangerous when mixed with benzodiazepines (Xanax etc). Then there’s heroin, which is more or less the same thing, but we throw people in jail for that. It’s such a messed up system. You used to be able to walk into a pharmacy and buy heroin over the counter.

I had totally forgotten that. Suddenly certain things make more sense.

He was so good. Every day I stillI think about how much it sucks that he’s gone. I have their final Red Rocks poster framed and hanging in my room and as much as I love it it reminds me that we’ll never experience his music again. He should’ve been around at least another 20 years; a part of me will always feel like we were robbed of one of the best way too soon.

[Only registered users can see links.] has just a countdown clock on it with a mid-90's looking picture of Petty. Me thinks the Wildflowers: All the Rest release may finally be announced
