-The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest books ever and the above quote, focused on such a simple act of understanding, resonates the importance of Fitzgerald’s writings.

It is true that everything in the world is in a way a copy of some pre-existing form, albeit improved or adapted - in fact, that is how some people would define creativity, and I believe they would be correct. However, there is copying with originality, and there is mere copying (aka plagiarism).
For me, one of the biggest examples of uninventive, shameful copying is Rod Stewart’s hit “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy”:
Wikipedia tells us that while Stewart was vacationing in Brazil in the mid-70s, he listened to a big summer hit from Jorge Ben, a Brazilian musician, called “Taj Mahal”:
He must have really liked it for the chorus from “Taj Mahal” is perfectly placed into the chorus of “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy”.
Vanila Ice’s Ice Ice Baby would be another example, but this one always stands out for me because it involves Brazil. Apparently Jorge and Rod settled out of court.

RIP Audrey Hepburn
She passed away 30 years ago.
I remember the first time I saw her, in Funny Face, dancing with Fred Astaire.
