@JoeEDangerously did you bother to tell @DerekJohnson Phil Lynott was a dirty rotten plagiarist? This weekend their 1973 cut "Night Life" comes up in my Spotify rotation and I'm like "Cool, my man Phil is covering Willie Nelson!" Oh but wait, he totally lifted the chorus and didn't bother to give Willie any co-songwriting credit. What the fuck, bud?
"The song "Night Life," on the 1974 Thin Lizzy album Nightlife, borrows the title and chorus of the Willie Nelson song, but Thin Lizzy lead singer Phil Lynott is credited as the song's sole writer.[14]"
Thin Lizzy "Night Life" from 1973
Willie Nelson - Nigh Life (his 1965 version)

Do you think that quote was hanging on every wall in the world like “Live, Laugh Love.?” Anyways, I always skipped over that song anyways so it gives me another reason to skip it
I just want you to be proud of me going doing deep on early Thin Lizzy and discovering these nuggets.
I remember the time you guysm invited me over to @WoolleyDoog's and right there inside the front door was the "Live, Laugh, Love" sign. I was taken aback to be honest.
Excuse me. I don't do Wal-Mart Wisdom.
If stealing without giving credit really mattered, Led Zeppelin would've never made it past their first album.
We'll get to that in a sec, chief.
