...that the Heartbreakers once dumped Chinese food all over their luggage?
...that on the 4th of July, 1976, the air conditioning broke down during the recording of "American Girl"?
...that Tom Petty and Stan Lynch got into an altercation with the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten?
"Most of my songs are just about girls ... that's a good subject. I certainly don't consider myself a poet, or anything."
