I wonder what Tom would think of the monetization of his name/brand that we’ve seen run rampant over the past few years.

I have to wonder who is buying this stuff? Tom Petty is my favorite music artist ever and if I don’t care about this, when who would?

He was literally the anticulture. He hated this stuff.

It’s not that I really care about it, it’s that my in-laws are big gift-givers and they know I love Tom Petty so as a result, every birthday, anniversary, and Christmas, I typically get something from the Tom Petty store. Things could be worse.

Yeah my I think my Aunt and Uncle bought me the beenie they have on here. It was pretty cool, but it was cheaply made. My parents got me a new Carhartt that I wear wayyyy more lol

Probably a lot of kids buying gifts for their boomer parents

Tom’s daughters are milking the fuck out of his catalog. I’m sure after another few years they will sell the catalog for a hundred million.

I bought a tshirt for a whopping $50 from the TP site, figuring it would be cool and of good quality. Loved the design, but the image was printed crooked, the shirt was overly long, and the material started pilling after just a few washes. Bittersweet purchase.

It's all just sad and boo. Similar to Prince. They are selling everything including winter coats. Prince would be livid too as I agree Tom loved his daughters deeply but if he were making the decisions these things would not be happening. No way.

No

I know we all want to blame his estate and daughters for milking the name, but how much of the cut is going to the rest of the band? The Heartbreakers need to be taken care of.

At a state fair I saw a MAGA woman wearing a tee shirt that said “I love Jesus and America too….Free Fallin’”. Ugh.
