This is no lie. Before I heard of the controversy every time I hummed the song I would always fall into "Last Dance".

I didn't realize why until I heard about the controversy.

Listen for yourself.

"I don’t believe in lawsuits much. I think there are enough frivolous lawsuits in this country without people fighting over pop songs."

Now I like Tom Petty even more.

Tom would definitely win this case if he pursued it, look at how Huey Lewis successfully sued Ray Parker Jr. for his hit song "Ghostbusters" and said it resembled Huey's "I Want A New Drug". Those songs are as different as night and day.

Petty is a lib but he's man enough to not get the law involved. I'd buy him a beer.

While we're talking about it: is that song about weed or about a girl?

I believe Benmont Tench (keyboard) and Mike Campbell (guitar) from the Heartbreakers are on the new Johnny Cash American V release.
