Imitation isn't viewed as a form of flattery to all in music. Despite being meant as tributes to timeless works, cover songs are frequently the topic of insults, disdain, and legal action from the very people who wrote them. Twists and reinterpretations have often yielded scorn from original creators, creating tension between artistic legacies and creative freedom. Reactions can be swift and cutting, even forgetting that not every song remake is a love letter to its creator.
