...how much the intro to "heaven is a better place today" sounds like "American Girl" by petty. Coincidence?






Boring random thought of the day

That was the very first impression I had too.

Another noteworthy soundalike is the intro to "Boots or Hearts" which sounds highly similar to John Cougar Mellencamp's "Pink Houses".

Actually, when I heard "Heaven" the first time live at the Whiskey in Calgary, I didn't think "American Girl" in particular. I more thought of that particular genre...new wave, post punk, whatever it may be called. Stuff like Tom Petty, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello...that sorta thing. It was refreshing at any rate.

Jenna,
Did you watch the Jays-Sox game last night?? Great game, even better that the Jays won ( I'm not taking a shot or anything) Just a well played ball game.

No, I didn't catch it. Between the large family bbq, filling out job applications and catching up with my beloved, I had a busy evening. Despite the loss, I would have liked to have seen it!!

The play again tonight! hopefully you will get a chance to watch some. Two great hitting ball clubs going at it.

i always thought that tune had a strong 'honky tonk women' vibe by the stones

I an even better "tribute" to American Girl is the Strokes' Last Night. I remember reading in an interview that they were surprised they were never sued.

Cheers,
