This is not Twitter, but Instagram.:laugh:

There were several hours when some news outlets had reported that Tom had died and others were saying he had been falsely reported dead... No one knew which was true. I guess they could have just looked at his daughter's social media... A little unfair to single out Rolling Stone when I believe the false reports originated with the LAPD's (incorrect) statement. But how can you blame her, in her position?:distress:

So, what's the truth???? Did he die earlier Monday as initially reported and they were just trying to keep their privacy, which I can certainly understand? Or did he die that Monday night as later reported ?? As much anger as she felt, there's a time for a little diplomacy and that was not exhibited?? Its one thing to say this to friends and family, BUT to the whole world??

I guess it doesn't matter as he ultimately passed, BUT still, that was surely a shock n awe post from her. Heck, even "we" on the Ledge thought and believed earlier Monday that he had passed.

It's truly a shock to me that he is gone

Yeah me too. Having lived in Gainesberger for 8 years and having met him when he was with Mudcrutch at "Dubs" on 13th b/4 TPHB made it big in LA, it's very sad. He was a down to earth, just normal guy who happened to be a great musician and song writer. Lots of great musicians came out of Gainesville in the late 60s and early-mid 70s and TP was certainly part of that.
