The artists Tom Petty wanted to be remembered like: “Everyone else had died or faded out”

The artists Tom Petty wanted to be remembered like: “Everyone else had died or faded out”In the context of where we are now, it’s quite eerie to hear Tom Petty dissecting the concept of his own mortality. Others, like Petty, just went along for the ride wherever life took them. Tragically, Petty only had a little over a decade left in him by that point, before his own curtain would fall. Petty never ultimately got to live out his dream of being a rock and roll stalwart, performing from a comfortable chair. One day, unfortunately, much like Petty, they’re going to be gone forever.
