Will Sheff's solo acoustic cover of Don Henley's song "The [End of the Innocence |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.
