So, I turned on my radio this morning and I got all excited because I heard a Tom Petty song coming on and then I realized that it wasn't Tom Petty at all but that stupid Red Hot Chili Pepper rip-off. Has Tom Petty gotten around to suing Anthony and Flea yet? What's he waiting for? He should sue the pants off of that jerk. The songs sound exactly the same except for Tom Petty's rocks my socks off and Anthony Kiedas' sounds like a llama that's dying.
Such atrocity has not been committed since En Vogue stole Alice Cooper's "Feed My Frankenstein".
There are rare occasions where it really is okay for a musician to steal other people's music. Like George Harrison should be allowed to steal anybody's music that he wants to. Especially crappy Doo Wop music. But what happens when he steals a song? He gets in all kinds of trouble. Poor George. We love your song much more, George.
By the way, this clip is from the Concert for George and can I just say that whole concert is madness. Absolutely excellent...the whole thing. I have it on DVD and I make Duncan watch it while I cook dinner a lot. He loves Ringo Starr.
