Tom Petty Threatens To Sue Michele Bachmann For Using His Song
Everybody hates Michele Bachmann, especially the composer and performer of the classic rock song "American Girl," which Grandma Bachmann has been illegally using at her campaign events.
Tom Petty may be taking legal action to make sure Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann stops using his songs at her campaign events.

Petty also issued a cease and desist letter to then-Governor George W. Bush for illegally using “I won’t back down” at his rallies.
