Little-known fact: Bob Dylan's "Hollis Brown" is a blatant ripoff of the original version of the Coasters' "Charlie Brown":

Who's living out a private hell?
Who spent his last buck all on shotgun shells?
Charlie Brown! Charlie Brown!
Kicked around, that Charlie Brown!
He's gonna just snap, just you wait and see:
"Why'm I driven past the point of sanity?"

Of course the Coasters eventually changed their lyrics to something less tragic, but the original concept was still theirs, and leave it to the white man to steal the black man's music ... again.
