RIP Tom Petty

Tom Petty's Daughter Slams 'Rolling Stone' For False Reports Of Her Dad's Death
@rollingstone my dad is not dead yet but your fucking magazine is ⚡️⚡️⚡️your slime has been pieces of tabloid dog shit. You put the worst artists on your covers do zero research. How dare you report that my father has died just to get press because your articles and photos are so dated. I will fucking shit down your throat and your family's . Try not being a trump vibe. This is my father not a celebrity. An artist and human being. Fuck u

God, let this be the end of Rolling Stone.

rofl if he's really alive hahahahhah rolling stone

He for real dead this time. 8:40 PM PST. Unless of course he is alive again somehow. RIP TP. I loved most of his shit.

I've been to 2 concerts this year. Soundgarden, 3 days before Chris Cornell died, and Tom Petty(a week after the Soundgarden show)

I think I may not push my luck and see anyone else I like this year.

Alternately, if you want to see someone gone, send me a concert ticket...

Glad the reports were false. Though, likely being on life support after a heart attack isn't a good sign for him.

Between 4% and 11% recovery rate depending if you ask USA doctors or Japanese doctors (the only other country that has studied heart attack oxygen deprivation and long term life support)

USA will tell you 1-2%, its actually "much" higher but our system is designed to limit bed space and taking hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from hopeful relatives.

Those are your "full cognitive recovery" percentages. The moral issue is if the recovery doesn't happen but you're a vegetable. You get to watch and listen to people discuss your death around you and then eventually kill you while you are completely paralyzed unable to speak or move at all. Sort of like being knocked unconscious, that state you are in where you are "waking up" (if anyone has been knocked out here). A very sick and disgusting death compared to a massive heart attack that just completely wipes you out leaving you DOA.

Which is why our system of killing off heart attack victims ASAP can probably claim the moral high ground. That is, until every household carries a ventilator with a spouse that is trained in how to deploy it really quickly. The recovery rates would become exponentially better, but even then, only the wealthy would really be able to afford the long term bed space for someone to make a cognitive recovery.

Running down a Dream is one of the best driving songs ever and I've had it somewhere in my car since the cassette tape days. RIP

I really like his character on King of the Hill. Sad that both halves of the duo are gone.

Just seen him at Del Mar, CA a couple weeks ago he looked pretty ragged then, honestly thought it was just the long tour getting him.
