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. 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.
