    I've sometimes thought it was weird that artists regularly don't talk about extremely obvious musical influences on them - but apparently just saying that a song is inspired by someone else's music is enough to get sued for copyright infringement even though your song is 100% original, so of course everybody has to pretend that they came up with all their ideas on their own in the Most Rational Economic System.
