Sike, I still like it
Man I’ll never forget how mad I got when I found out that John Lennon was not actually a walrus
Ruined my day when I first heard this about Creedence. Also blew my mind when I found out Elton John didn’t write his own lyrics lol
At least Elton John had a prolonged partnership with a lyricist whom he had good chemistry with and seemed to like on a personal level, rather than just working with whoever the record company sends him, which I get the impression is what happens with Garth Brooks.
Caring about whether a band writes their own songs is very boomer, and mostly came about because of mechanical royalties in the United States.
If the artist themself is a boomer then I think judging them by ‘the standards of their day’ is at least partially valid.

Think that’s bad? The group that made the popular dance version of ‘Cotton eye Joe’ is from Sweden
