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.

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

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

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