    American Girl is Bad?!

    Why didn't American Girl by Tom Petty make it past the filter? It's a great song, and isn't suggestive or anything. So why is it not on LEGO Rock Band? Just wondering.

    It's about a girl committing suicide if I remember correctly.

    Yeah, even though it doesn't talk about suicide. Just attempted suicide.

    The word "die" appears in the lyric which is probably enough for it to be filtered out. I'm sure there are exceptions, but the context here would make it hard to ignore.
    This is not a signature.

    Haha, I know. Though kids wouldn't get it, and it's because of kids that the filters there in the first place.

    Not just *attempted* suicide. Tom wrote the song about a real-life incident at the U of Fla where a college girl got stoned and tried to fly off a 13-story balcony (without much success).

    That's not suicidal at all, then. Stupid, maybe, but since when was stupidity for ages ten and over?
    Also, I have butter cookies!

    It's because Tom Petty had an affair with Tiger Woods.
