Stolen From Tom Petty

Bands and artists have often accidentally stolen songs from Tom Petty, but the legend never really cared too much. He knew that a lot of rock elements tend to sound very similar. Though the fans of both artists were upset, Petty wasn't bothered at all. In fact, when asked about the Strokes, he said "Okay, good for you. It doesn’t bother me." A good song is a good song, no matter who sings it!
