Will Sheff's solo acoustic cover of Don Henley's song "The End of the Innocence" created controversy after Henley and his lawyers requested the song be removed from the album.[2] Sheff responded to Henley's remarks in a Rolling Stone article by referring to a tradition of American songwriters such as Bob Dylan and Nina Simone covering and modifying other folk songs.[3]
