I love finding out a song by a famous artist wasn't original to them. Especially when that famous artist is also a famous asshole.

I used to be. He's a fantastic musician. But as I've gotten older (and subsequently have seen more and more of these types of details) it's become almost impossible to "separate the art from the artist." And so many artists are giant pieces of shit. It's depressing.
