Some rock star/celebrity deaths hit me harder than others. This one hits pretty hard.
Saw him at the Bayfront Center in St Pete in 1989, ironically on the evening of the day they had the roof closing ceremony at what is now known as Tropicana Field, then known as the Florida Suncoast Dome. Roger McGuinn came out halfway through the show and had a jam session for about 30 minutes with Petty....Turn, Turn, Turn, Mr. Tambourine Man, etc. rocked the place.....
God bless Petty. A legend.....
At least they didn't torture him for months like Bobby Kristina Brown.
