I’ve been hearing Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Dani California” on the radio lately and have found it very confusing because I could have sworn it was a really old song, but everyone is talking about their new album. Well, it all became clear today when I heard a news bit about Tom Petty considering taking legal action against RHCP for ripping off “Mary Jane’s Last Dance.” Apparently, RHCP has gotten tired of just being derivative; they have gone the full monty and actually stolen a song. When will they get it through their heads that they were meant to be a one-hit wonder? Check out the comparison of the two songs here.

I never noticed the similarity to Tom Petty's song, I just noticed that Danii, California seemed formulaic and carbon copyish to oretty much all of their other songs.
By the way, have you seen Anthony Kiedis lately? I saw a picture of a very haggard and grizzled looking man of his late 40's scooting around town on a motorcycle with a model in her late teens. Bleah.
damning evidence indeed! Drat, could it be Colleen was right about something? She thought it was an old song and i was all - Duh it's NEW song silly....don't tell her.
