I felt the same when I gleaned that fact. But as I've heard said many times "write about what you know". Dolly, Adele, Biggie Smalls et al. Billie Jean was written after a lady made a spurious paternity claim against Michael Jackson. Mobb Deeps "Drink Away The Pain" is all about how MC Prodigy used alcohol to numb the physically painful and emotionally distressing life limiting diagnosis he struggled with from 3 months old. I'll spare you ALLLLLLL the rest.:ear::ear:
