Yes, a guy on facebook inputted the lyrics to Red Barchetta and this is what it spit out.

Yup. That's how he lost him at the one lane bridge.

AI is not perfect.

I follow this facebook page that posts pictures of wood frame construction with vague comments like "Nice" or "Smooth" or whatever... they're usually pictures of beautifully and intricately and unnecessarily complexly constructed rough framing, completely overkilled, over built but constructed in a way that you know the guy knew what he was doing. A lot of the time right in the middle of these photos there'll be a glaringly obvious code violation. I'll tell you, there's really no one like a tradesman to take every opportunity they see to point out the shortcomings and errors of another tradesman. Conversely, there is no greater a compliment than one given from a fellow tradesman because you know that it came from a place of earnestness... Anyways, they posted this photo and as I was scanning the comments (the only negative ones about "overkill") I came across this eloquent synopsis of life...

I don't think people appreciate what has to happen to make a cut roof look this good.

It starts all the way down at the foundation and works it's way up. The craftsmanship is in the entire process of the framing. Without having floors and walls that are square and level, the roof would never look that sweet.

Ha! There you go!

I've been following Mike Masse for a while. He really represents the pinnacle of the current state of cover artists, using social media as a platform to promote his music and a direct connection to his followers. He was a New York Lawyer who gave it all up to pursue his passion in music. He now travels the entire world playing to packed houses and earning a decent living while doing it. those that claim there's no money/outlet for cover musicians are doing it wrong...

This whole debacle is fascinating and enraging at the same time. On one one side the terrestrial commercial radio industry is attempting force automakers to continue to put antiquated equipment that no one uses in cars because "safety and service to the communitay" through the implementation of jackbooted legislation and on the other, automakers are saying fuck you I won't do what you tell me. This is how business is conducted in a fascist society.
