Tom Petty was the soundtrack of my childhood, and his music and voice has been a constant companion through my whole life.

And I am devastated tonight.

I am very thankful that I got to see him once in concert. I was broke, and could only afford the nosebleed section in a stadium.... but I wept at the first chord, because there he was, live and in front of me.

And tonight I'm weeping because he never will be again.

Now, like then, I will quickly compose myself, and enjoy the music.
