Born Monty Halparin in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Canada, Hall grew up during the Depression. In 1942, Hall was doing manual labor at the time when a wealthy stranger offered to pay for his college education on condition that he repaid the money, got top grades, kept his benefactor’s name anonymous and agreed to help someone else.

sadly we kind of failed at that (and it's partially my fault) the other thread was 11 pages this one is 15

Another legend (appears to be) gone.   RIP. 

 

Confirmed.

Confirmed.   

 

Damn.  RIP Tom Petty.

NO, NO, NO!! I can't take this right now... Tom Petty is one of my all-time favorites... just an all around cool guy and phenomenal talent...

This is pretty devastating from a personal musical influence level....

Another victim of ISIS.

What a shitty, shitty Monday. RIP, Mr. Petty.

well, I guess maybe the KOTH revival won't need Luanne and Lucky.....maybe they can just make it that they both died and now their daughter is now living with the Hills

he's had his last dance with Mary Jane

 

Handle him with care god

TMZ saying Tom ain't dead yet.

Don't know how to embed tweets, but he's apparently still clinging to life.

 

Still, very sad day.

Edited October 2, 20178 yr by tacklewasher

well if it turns out that the news f his death was greatly exaggerated then this would probably be the best news all day considering what happened this morning

 

or not...this from TMZ

1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a do not resuscitate order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live throughout the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency.

He’s alive!!

He won't back down.

Still I wonder why the family has a do not resuscitate order on him

 

 

Lots of family have DNR’s. You can effectively keep someone alive on machines... but it ain’t living.

yes looks like this time it's for real re Tom Petty.   Don't come around here no More!

That's too bad RIP Tom Petty. I was never really into him but he genuinely seemed like a cool dude and I know some people I went to school with met him and said he was crazy nice in person.  Ironic that when Prince died last year this video was fired up quite often,  seems like it should be making its rounds again for a different member of the performance
