Old, white, retired career Army officer here (infantry)...I do not see ANY partisan aspect to this photograph. It’s a non-problem, and it will fade away pretty quickly.

You equating BLM with Nazism says all there is to know about you.

Yes. Mainly because that’s completely and obviously different.

I met Petty about three years ago. My son and I built a guitar for him and gave it to him before a show at the Fonda in L.A.

Yeah, the interpretation that Petty, or anyone else on that stage, was pissed isn’t backed up at all by the visual evidence. Look at Petty at about 5:02 in that video. He’s leaning into the solo physically, and you can see him mouth something that looks like, “Wow,” at Prince and then smile. And as the camera cuts…

I second this emotion. TP is smiling and giggly during this vid. He just has a sour bitchface in general.

I’ve watched that clip of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” dozens of times, and until it was mentioned a few places yesterday, I had never seen the narrative that Tom Petty is pissed at Prince through this. They both give each other wry little smiles throughout the performance, and Petty clearly defers to Prince’s…

I’m pretty devastated about this and I’m not even the biggest fan of his music (though I’m not blind to the fact that he was an enormous talent). What hits deep with me is that he touched so many people, it’s actually pretty shocking. He didn’t do it for public recognition - but actually because he genuinely cared…

Someone tell Dwight there is a perfectly legal substance to enhance grip in situations like this

And then the rest of us will mention that he is a rapist.
