What Was the Motivation Behind Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers “Refugee” Song [VIDEO]

Tom Petty said of this song: "This was a reaction to the pressures of the music business. I wound up in a huge row with the record company when ABC Records tried to sell our contract to MCA Records without us knowing about it, despite a clause in our contract that said they didn't have the right to do that. I was in this defiant mood."
