I actually see what you mean, and don't disagree... though I can think of some excellent examples that work absolutely contrary to what you are saying. One in particular comes to mind, though I am unfortunately not at liberty to share. The point is, most every worthwhile artist works from their experience, whether it be good or bad, and the inspiration for a song may be absolutely contrary to what mutability the witness at large might apply- there is beauty in this, the process to distill instance to a meaningful piece of work. No artist in control of his or her work is removed from this, and it is a thoroughly enriching thing.
