== Fracture of the hip. == |
|||
Just wanted to let you know that the statement made about a fractured hip turning into a full break is actually the exact same thing. |
|||
Both the words fracture and break mean that a bone has been "busted". |
|||
In medical terminology we use the term fracture, although shortened to ' # '. |
|||
We use the term interchangeably due to some persons knowledge. And because some people believe that a break sounds more serious than a fracture. |
|||
But both are broken. [[User:Redrecks|Redrecks]] ([[User talk:Redrecks|talk]]) 17:19, 8 December 2018 (UTC) |

Petty extensively played bass guitar on recordings and in concert. He was the bassist in Mudcrutch in both their early and later years, he recorded bass on many Heartbreakers records, his solo albums and in one instance, a Johnny Cash album. |

Under cause of death it states heart attack due to accidental drug overdose, this is incorrect. While drugs were found in his system there were only trace amounts. Low enough to come to the conclusion that he was not intoxicated at time of death and far below the amount necessary to trigger a heart attack. |

Saying his his heart attack was the result of a drug overdose is like saying an auto accident was alcohol related because the driver had a beer 2 days prior.

Petty had (or still has) a reputation for his ability to write songs that were relatively simple from a musical perspective but sounded fresh, engaging and sometimes extremely moving. 'Into the Great Wide Open' is an excellent example of condensing an epic story into a three-and-a-half minute pop song. It would be nice if someone more skilled in researching and writing about such things than I am could add a section on this aspect of his talent.

In the Death section, I linked to the wiki acetylfentanyl article (wiki doesn't have one for despropional fentanyl). These are illegal drugs--NOT prescription pain meds. The article is definitely improved by clarifying these facts! [[User:MorbidAnatomy|MorbidAnatomy]] ([[User talk:MorbidAnatomy|talk]]) 19:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC) |

Fracture of the hip.
[edit]Just wanted to let you know that the statement made about a fractured hip turning into a full break is actually the exact same thing. Both the words fracture and break mean that a bone has been "busted". In medical terminology we use the term fracture, although shortened to ' # '. We use the term interchangeably due to some persons knowledge. And because some people believe that a break sounds more serious than a fracture. But both are broken.

Tom Petty on bass guitar
[edit]Petty extensively played bass guitar on recordings and in concert. He was the bassist in Mudcrutch in both their early and later years, he recorded bass on many Heartbreakers records, his solo albums and in one instance, a Johnny Cash album. Therefore, I believe bass guitar should be listed on his list of notable instruments. ChristianJosephAllbee (talk) 03:30, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
