TyronneTom Petty's response
July 3rd 2006 03:42
This is a few days old, but I thought I'd put it up, considering I'd spent so much time fighting for Chili Peppers on the matter (check out my original post here). There couldn't be a better resolution either - basically, Tom Petty doesn't care, which is as it should be. Here is his response to the ordeal:
"I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there. And a lot of rock 'n' roll songs sound alike. Ask Chuck Berry. The Strokes took 'American Girl' [for their song 'Last Nite'], and I saw an interview with them where they actually admitted it. That made me laugh out loud. I was like, 'OK, good for you' ... If someone took my song note for note and stole it maliciously, then maybe [I'd sue]. But I don't believe in lawsuits much. I think there are enough frivolous law suits in this country without people fighting over pop songs."
