I mean, I got scooped last year. I am not much of a songwriter, and I had a great idea for an album. Rapid fire wrote off a couple dozen songs in a week.

Thing is, I'm a specialist. Sure I wrote the book on my instrument but that's just technique. Writing songs, that's a whole different game. I have written only one song good enough to let other people hear. So like, having my songs scooped before I could publish sucked, but what was worse was the way it happened. It was my favorite band. And they didn't rip me off wholesale, the album they released after I was working on my songs, it was conceptually the same album. Like Jesus fuck John get out of my head.

Are you saying you wrote a song and Facebook secretly listened in through your phone and gave the song to your favourite band and they released it? Because that sounds like you have serious mental delusions. This does not happen.

Looking at their last sentence it does seem so

people never fuck with you, do they. they just give you a nice wide berth (because of the odor), so you never learned how to deal with it, huh?
