Jesus Christ Now Tom Petty Is Dead Too

This post was based on an erroneous report from CBS that said it had confirmed Petty's death from the LAPD. Petty was taken off life support shortly before this post came out, and then died last night around midnight.

Donald Trump was right: there is nothing today but American Carnage. Following last night's gun massacre of nearly 60 people in Las Vegas, with more than 500 injured whose status we do not know, the LAPD has confirmed to CBS that Tom Petty has died of a heart attack at the age of 66. (The two incidents, to be clear, were presumably unrelated except by time.)

I hope Tom Petty is not actually dead and makes a full recovery to see all the kind, sweet things you are are saying about him. What a life. ❤️
