      Yes. And this was Tom Petty fighting for musicians against the music industry...fighting the music industry itself with the weapon of music!

    This is not a Heartbreakers song. It's from Full Moon Fever, which is his first solo album. Petty co-wrote it with Jeff Lynne. Lynne plays on the song as does George Harrison. Also, Brian May is not in this video, that is Mike Campbell, who had a similar hairstyle (but plays a Gretsch 6186 Clipper on this song and is mock playing Harrison's Stratocaster in the video). Ringo Starr only appears in the video as Phil Jones was the drummer for the album.
