Sending good vibes Tom Petty's way.
Just this week I asked my wife who she'd most like to see again and Tom Petty was the first name out of her mouth.
Pulling for him.

(6,979 posts)At a taping of the television show Fridays years ago. Was a fan before the taping, but really grew to be a fan after that. Damn, I was just listening to American Girl and Quit Jammin' Me the other day.
He was quite the political animal, which made me admire him even more.
