Jake Owen Says Tom Petty\u2019s Comments About Country Music \u2018Ridiculous, Uneducated\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jake Owen<\/a> is a fan of Tom Petty<\/a>. The singer says he\u2019s long called his fellow Floridian an influence, but after hearing the rocker\u2019s comments<\/a> about country music, he had to take a step back.
\nOwen becomes the latest to rebuke Petty after hearing of the May venting which made headlines this month after Petty talked about it to Rolling Stone<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that he\u2019d make a ridiculous, uneducated comment like that about a format he\u2019s not even a part of,\u201d Owen said during an interview on SiriusXM<\/a>\u00a0radio.
\nPetty called today\u2019s country music \u201cbad rock with a fiddle\u201d during a concert in New York City. He added later, \u201cMost of that music reminds me of rock in the middle \u201980s where it became incredibly generic and relied on videos.\u201d
\n\u201cFirst off, why?\u201d Owen asks. \u201cThat bums me out a little bit \u2026 but everybody makes ignorant comments from time to time.\u201d
\n\u201cMy dad always said there\u2019s an a\u2013 for every seat so if you don\u2019t like it, get out,\u201d Owen continues.
\nThe country singer says he\u2019s still a fan of Petty, but it\u2019s clear the rocker upset him. Earlier, Chris Stapleton<\/a> responded to Petty\u2019s comments by asking him to \u201cput your money where your mouth is\u201d and join him in a collaboration. The open letter to Tom Petty<\/a> came across as tongue-in-cheek, although if Petty agrees to record with him, Stapleton seems likely to accept.
