Who here hasn't heard of Tom Petty?

@Fernie Was it his music or his personality that makes you dislike him? We get you didn't care for him, but dang! If you're going to keep shoving it on this feed then I will have to say you are disrespecting him after he is dead. I liked the people you mentioned, but what makes them better?

@PoisonLace disrespecting him after he is dead??? are you serious? Was he god or something? He was a musician like any other musician...I didn't like his style, I never liked heavy metal either,or country, not a Hendrix fan...I was a folk music lover in the 60's and well into the 70's and even now. People like what they like and I gotta tell ya...you are taking this all waaay too personally and sounding a bit nutty

@Fernie Actually, no. Disrespecting anyone who is dead is bad karma, and I was going to let it go because everyone has their own opinions (you have a right, but my point is to not say it more than once) about music until you decided for a second time to voice in another comment what you had already said in a different way...but with more of an insulting remark that you were sad over Joplin (rocker), Winehouse (Soul, Rythm&Blues, Jazz etc.)--two 27-year-olds that didn't have half the experience that Tom Petty did (he was one of the few people who took on the music industry and record companies and won all the rights to his music) because they both died of overdoses before they could make an even bigger impact (that they should have) on the world, and Carlin (who has nothing to do with music), but not Petty. But that's okay because his genre meant nothing to you so it's fine not to be sad about it. ;) And wow, I've never met a bird who didn't like Hendrix, but whatever floats your boat! ---Oh, and it's not that I'm nutty (I take that as a huge insult), it's that I'm a fan who saw him as a person and not just a musician. This is the only post that I've made about him, so it's not like I've preached all over my page and worship him like a god. You make it seem as though I do, but you don't know me at all.

@Mustermann He was that amazing.

@Fernie You may not like his music, but he did a lot for the music industry and was a businessman in his own right.

@PoisonLace let it go

@Fernie Gladly!

@jjoe01 lol...

@PoisonLace i was kidding.... Lol

@jjoe01 You started to worry me there! :D

@bijouxbroussard They're just not open. :p So sad.

@PoisonLace Not necessarily. It just wasn’t their genre. Phife Dawg died last year, and chances are people who don’t follow old school rap didn’t know who [b]he[/b] was.

@bijouxbroussard Heard of him, but of course, I have heard of a lot of people. My musical background is pretty diverse. Some people I have not heard of, but it really depends on where they came from in the time line.
