Me too, but I still kick myself in the ass for not making the last tour. A friend asked me if I wanted to go to Indy to see him & Joe Walsh & at the time I really couldn't afford it. My heart broke when I heard he passed.

Tom Petty so richly deserved the Honorary Doctorate Degree in Music, bestowed upon him from the University of Florida! 🎓🎼🧡🐊💙 The city of Gainesville, FL has such high regard, and affection for "Tommy!" He is widely known as Gainesville's "No 1 Son!" 🎩❤️🎸 Tom's Music 🎶.. his compelling lyrics taught us, and continue to teach us, so much about Life! 🙌 He could convey his stories, his songs, to his audience, (whether it was an audience of 200,000, or an audience of 500), with such emotional depth that the hearing of his songs was a joyful, moving, uplifting, profound, life affirming experience. Tom Petty's songs...his music & lyrics are compelling! His music legacy will live on, and on, and on because, his songs speak to anyone who truly listens to the magic that is Tom Petty! His most devoted fans deeply feel that "Tom was the best friend they never met!"🎩❤️🎸🎶 Tom was/will forever be a revered man, and musician. We will never forget you Tommy, will always miss you, and forever hold you in our hearts! 💕💕💕 🎩💔🎸🎶
Much deserved. 🎩❤️🎤🎸
I'm so happy that Tom is getting this recognition he deserves it for sure. I love his voice if I hear a new song I will automatically like it. Dr. Tom Petty love you forever. We will never forget you!💖💖🎸🎶
Tom may have gone but he will never be forgotten. Songwriting genius left us so many great songs. Miss u my friend

Hello Eileen
Listening to his music for life!
Tom has been healing people for a long time.
Dr. Tom Petty! Tom definitely accomplished what he came to earth to do & the world 🌎 is a better place because of him
I'm 41 now and Toms music has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember, he was my Dad's favourite musician, my Dad was a musician too and he'd rarely play a gig without a Tom Petty number thrown in, one of my earliest memories of my Dad was him excitedly buying Full Moon Fever on CD and taking it home, playing it to death while teaching himself some of the tunes. Tom Petty died nearly a year to the day after my Dad died. The last song I ever heard my Dad play was Into The Great Wide Open. Part of me is convinced that my Dads spirit snatched Tom Petty's from this world just so he could play Jeff Lynnes parts in some cosmic afterlife Wilburies jam night 🎸❤
The Heartbreakers always top shelf tasteful brilliance
To this day, I regret not seeing him in concert. RIP Tom Petty.❤
We love you Tom Petty in heaven Thank you for the music that means everything to us.
Love you Tom!!!
Dr. Tom Petty. Your music is the joy in my life.
Grande TOM ❤

Love, love, love Tom and the band but educate me people. What does this honor do for Tom? Was a degree or doctorate something he had always wanted but hadn't gotten around to? As it stand it feels like UF stands to gain more by offering this to Tom than than the other way around. But if his estate is good with it then who am I... I guess I just like it more when people are honored and esteemed while they are still around to accept and receive this kind of thing. It not like Tom hadn't already left an indelible mark on the arts and in our culture 20 years ago. Personally, I think it would be cooler if they named a building after him if they haven't already. Who know, maybe they will! 💘🎸
RIP Tom Petty 💘

@@nubevida His music is woven into the fabric of my life. Signposts along the way for all of us. I have never mourned a celebrity in my life except for Tom. I got to see him in concert not knowing that it was literally one of his last shows ever. I can’t explain adequately all the synchronicities that are associated with his music in my life. Those were small moments when my soul felt seen and recognized. When you are connected to the ethereal realms where music comes from…it comes from that place where we are all one and we know that we are all connected. When I was typing out the hearts I couldn’t stop at one…one wasn’t enough to express my gratitude for his life’s work and presence in my life still. Another synchronicity! Thank you for that!!

My lord and savior. My daddy and hero. My Heartbreaker. My heart shaker. My angelic lil devil. My key my aeroplane and wind beneath my wings. MY SUN AND STARS. MY TARZAN. MY SUPERMAN. MY DIXIELAND DELIGHT. MY MAN. My American treasure and my American dream. My everything. My master and muse. My wild one, FOREVER. God Is there anyone more beautiful a soul than Thomas Earl Petty? HAHAHA DONT ASK STUPID QUESTIONS, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE MORE BEAUTIFUL IN ALL THE WORLD. AND ALL THE WORLDS BEYOND THAT. NOW COME COLLECT THIS KITTY, TOM. THATS AN ORDER YOU BAD BAD BABY YOU. Bring the Eldorado around back and break me out this prison and we can play doctor when I get home.
Just amazing music sung & played from the heart ♥
