Are you f-ing kidding me?
Musical punchline Tommy Tu Tone and a handful of music reviewers are now alleging that the opening chords of Springsteen's latest "Radio Nowhere" are (maybe, possibly, I think...) a rip-off of the One Hit Wonder's "867-5309 (Jenny)."
Really? The Boss - one of the greatest rock musicians... well, ever - is going to swipe chords from Tommy Tu Tone?
That's like Steinbeck plagiarizing a passage from The Baby Sitter's Club.
Apparently Tu Tone remembered who he was and this afternoon has said he will now send a letter to Springsteen's manager assuring him that he will not sue. (Why not, he got the publicity he needed. Hey, did I mention Tommy has a new record coming out? Lucky timing!)
