Why do people that bring so much joy to others through music or art or entertainment always seem to go too early, yet ugly people who live their lives deliberately hurting others, go on and on and on...

He'll rule the pit even in death. (that's a huge compliment for those wondering if the comment is in bad taste or not - Petty knows he rules the pit and will even in death)
