Despite occasional misattribution, "Hey Joe" was NOT written by Chet Powers
aka Dino Valenti, nor did he ever claim to have written it. The official
writer of record is Billy Roberts, although there is a story that it was
actually written by a girl Roberts knew who OD'd.

none of which are attached to song
