Lorraine Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I love the man, but I wouldn't want him to survive anymore than Carrie Fisher. No one knows how long he was without oxygen. Anything under two minutes isn't bad, but anything more than that - forget it. Like I said, you'd rather Tom passes than survives having to be washed, wiped and fed. If the media can make a mistake about his death or non death then they can make a mistake about being taken off life support and the length of time without oxygen. Who knows what the facts are now?\They said nothing about the time he was without oxygen. They just said he wasn't breathing when they found him. I don't know about you, but if anyone finds me not breathing and has no way of determining how long I've been without oxygen, you can let me stay like that.

J2112YYZ Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Whatever has happened here, whether he's dead or not this sucks. Been a big fan of his ever since the 80s. Tom Petty has always been there. I don't know a music world without him. One of a handful of artists who continued to release quality stuff late into their career. Saw him live in 1999 and it was a great show. Audience was fantastic as well and were into every song. Something you don't see a lot live with older performers. I always wanted to see him again but it just never ended up happening :( Edited October 3, 2017 by J2112YYZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elusivedisc.com is saying he has passed, and are already pushing his discography . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Too bad we all didn't live closer. I've got a pot roast dinner all ready to eat. You could all come over for some good comfort food and comforting talk and good music. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I guess the news is confusing as to Tom's status. http://youtu.be/qc5y6xBlezg Edited October 3, 2017 by custom55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Before the music or the performer, Tom seemed like a genuine human being I remember my sis had the 8 track of his debut in her Mustang back in the 70s - good memories RIP Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Okay, with such conflicting news now I feel bad about mourning him in front of all of my friends today, but I suppose that isn't really my fault. So let me get this straight, we don't really know anything for sure except that he wasn't actually dead when he was taken to the hospital and that he was taken to the hospital... gee, if Petty somehow comes out on top of this, he's gonna have a nasty bone to pick with TMZ and RS... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 "And this one carries a gun for the USAHe's a 21st Century manAnd he's scary as hell cause when he's afraidHe'll destroy everything he don't understand Well I ain't on the left, and I ain't on the rightI ain't even sure, I got a dog in this fightIn my time of need, in my time of griefI feel like a shadow's falling over me" --"Shadow People" Tom Petty Anyone else think these lyrics just sound too eerie today?

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 This is so frustrating. There's no updates I can find on how he's doing. After being led astray into thinking he was dead, I'd really like to know officially what state he's in right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After being led astray into thinking he was dead, I'd really like to know officially what state he's in right now. Unfortunately, that's how it is when someone is hospitalized. A lot of waiting around with no news. If the doctors don't know anything new then there is not much to report on. Also, his family may be keeping things to themselves before they tell the public. Which is absolutely the right thing to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Big fan. Saw him in May on the 40th tour. I hope he pulls through, but it doesn't sound good. On a day when our country was already mourning huge loss of life, this felt like a knockout punch to the gut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
