News sources reporting that Tom Petty was found unconscious, having suffered cardiac arrest, and has now been taken off life support. Hard to hear... RIP. What a musician. What a guy.

Rare indeed a guy who can keep up a solid 40 year career with such verve and turning out new material, and since he continued the strain of folk rock/jangle rock pioneered by the Byrds, who are probably my all time favorites, you can expect I liked him a *lot*. Also kind of a paradox that a guy would be the “title name” for a band for so long and be so self-effacing, and surround himself with better musicians than he was to improve his songwriting...
Just a mensch all around, never heard otherwise.
