I dont know why the song writers do that.Even some of Stevie's and Mac tune titles were lifted by other song writers.As long the lyrics and the music are not the same they can get away with it without having legal issues.

You are assuming that they are deliberately stealing song titles. It's very likely they are entirely unaware of a previous song with the same title. It happens a lot of times. Yet Stevie's For What it's Worth is the same title of a well-known Buffalo Springfield song. Why she chose that title is very puzzling , since she must have known the originally titled song.

It's rather alarming there is a generation that has no idea who Paul McCartney is. It reveals how shallow their refererences and depth of knowledge of classic rock and roll music is. Even though I grew up in the 1970s, I was also informed about the musical eras of the 5os and 60s, and found lots of seminal and groups and artists with as much great music as the current era.
