Same guy that sang “Learning To Fly”.

Or was that report a tad premature? Like me?

Nope, they seem certain he is. Dead, that is.

This is one of the rare deaths that have had an affect on me. Technically The Beatles were the first band I got into, but Tom Petty -- what I listened to a few years later -- was the first where it was serious enough to act as a gateway to music in general. His Full Moon Fever album is still among my top favorites.
