“There is no quicker way for people to think that you are diddling kids than by writing a song about it!”

First thing that came to mind.

    That really irks me in a way. Not the subject of kiddy-diddling being bad, obviously.

    Just that, for some reason, music is the only art form where everything you write is taken to mean a first person perspective. Even if you have written about a fictional character and you sing in character, you still get judged as if "you" are the one talking/singing.

    The famous example is Money for nothing by Dire Straits, but i could probably find many more. I kind of want music to be able to tell stories, including those about bad people.
