Thank you for posting. When I heard a pothead rocker claiming that he needed to keep the copyright on his music so that he would have enough money to send his GRANDCHILDREN through college that was all I needed to say enough is enough!
Straying but branching off your comment.
I had been a huge Tom Petty fan, he pitched a fit about his song being used during the a Bush campaign and he went after Bachmann for using American Girl.
He had claimed he wasn’t political and didn’t want his songs used in that way. I could respect that, as he has always fought that sort of thing. Record labels and all...
The DNC convention rolls around and what happens?! His song plays and I was thinking ah-ha! the DNC is going to get their butt chewed off.
What did Petty do/say about THAT?
—Tom Petty “Got Chills” When the DNC Played His Song “I Won’t Back Down” as Obama walked on stage.
Well, I won’t be spending a penny on this mans music ever again. He is a fake.
