Dani California sound familiar?

If you have heard the new single from Red Hot Chili Peppers, it might sound familiar. The single called Dani California has a similar sound to Tom Petty & the Heartbreaker's song called "Mary Jane's Last Dance". If you happen to own legal copies of both of these songs I would really recommend comparing them and seeing what you think. I was listening to the radio this morning and was able to hear a comparison. They sound very close to the same chords with Dani California being played slightly faster. Plagiarism? I don't know. There is a wikipedia entry about this issue which can be found here.

What does all of this do to the best minds among the students? Most of them endure their college years with the teeth-clenched determination of serving out a jail sentence. The psychological scars they acquire in the process are incalculable. But they struggle as best they can to preserve their capacity to think, sensing dimly that the essence of the torture is an assault on their mind. And what they feel toward their school ranges from mistrust to resentment to contempt to hatred – intertwined with a sense of exhaustion and excruciating boredom.
