I hate that, and that is the nature of art. It happened to Robert Schumann after he married Clara, because everything he wrote was about her. Also, it happens when artists make the big time, i.e. Metallica and Dave Matthews. I love Metallica's early shit, up to the Black Album, but
I hate everything since.
