I posted a book already for today's prompt. However, this song was the first thing to come to my mind and now it is stuck in there. Decided to share with you.

This one hit me harder than expected. So many of my life memories are mapped to Tom Petty songs. And there is no better wordplay in rock than when he rhymes 'tattoo' with 'a tattoo too'. RIP Petty

StephBengtson Me too. He was the greatest. 7y

Not really book related but as I figure songs are poetry set to music and Tom Petty was a great songwriter. I'm dedicating today's shift to Tom Petty.

Not book related, but still. Although technically before my time, Tom Petty saw a resurgence in popularity that coincided with my teenage years. In fact, Petty‘s greatest hits served as my own personal soundtrack in high school. I was lucky enough to see him in concert once and he did not disappoint. The world is mourning a lot of untimely losses today. I am saddened to see Tom Petty‘s name (might) be added to that list.

kalinichta Don't count him out yet. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cbs-news-backtracks-tom-petty-death-report... 7y

Purrfectpages @kalinichta I just saw that the news jumped the gun. How horrible for his family! 7y

TheBookHippie @Bookish.Heart unreal. So very sad. 7y

Lissa00 😢😢😢 7y

OrangeMooseReads When I googled it I saw that they had miscommunicated and he is still clinging to live as of 2 hrs ago. UCLA medical center isn‘t confirming as of 25 minutes ago. (edited) 7y

TheBookHippie @OrangeMooseReads yes I believe they have him on life support or just taken him off ? A miracle would be wonderful . They keep sending out conflicting reports !!! Sigh. 7y

AmyG I grew up to his music. Oh man. 😪 7y

BookwormAHN So sad. I also grew up on his music. 😿😿😿 7y

OrangeMooseReads @TheBookHippie last I saw just a little bit ago, was that after being taken off life support he started breathing on his own. I would love a win/miracle today (edited) 7y

Billypar The first story I heard just said that headlines about his death were retracted and didn't elaborate so I thought it was some kind of crazy hoax. Sad to learn otherwise, but hope he pulls through. 7y

TheBookHippie The family just announced his passing...@OrangeMooseReads 😭😭😭 7y

TheBookHippie @OrangeMooseReads 😭😭😭😭 7y

I was saddened to hear the news that Tom Petty died today. And then, this. News is not the enemy, but ranking being first over being accurate is dangerous.

It sounds like things are bad, though. I'm grateful to have seen him live and am playing his music tonight.

BarbaraBB I didn‘t know that he died. 😢 7y

dariazeoli @BarbaraBB Apparently he didn‘t yet. CBS misreported, but the situation looks bad ☹️ 7y

Reviewsbylola I have been so confused the past hour or two. He died, and then he didn't, repeat, repeat, repeat. 7y

dariazeoli @Reviewsbylola His daughter posted an angry Instagram post directed to Rolling Stone. I can‘t imagine how much harder this has made it for his family 7y

Purrfectpages Oh wow! I thought it was confirmed! 7y

dariazeoli @Purrfectpages So did everyone! Really irresponsible reporting, right? 7y

Purrfectpages @dariazeoli how upsetting for his family! 7y

Cinfhen I went to sleep he died I woke up he was resurrected 😬 7y

Cinfhen And now it's been confirmed he has passed away 😥 7y

CocoReads I'm so completely sad about this. This has been a sucky year. A sucky sucky year. 7y

ephemeralwaltz :'( 7y

im2bz It has been a sucky year in the world of music. As if to add salt to the wound, I heard songs from Chris Cornell and Incubus in the few minutes I listened to the radio. 7y

JenP @im2bz 😢 7y

JenP Now they‘ve retracted the story because they can‘t confirm whether he died 7y
