yeah lots of good points Phill,i guess this is where music was always heading.
with a little luck it may lead to more interest in live music.

the other day i watched an excellent interview of Shawn Lennon by Rick Beato.
i knew little of lennons music or him, apart from the obvious.
he had an interesting comment on Ai,which really got me thinking.So i decided to
try with an open mind to listen to some Ai music and try and  make a considered opinion
on its value.
conclusion
all of the music i usually listen to,i can most of the time identify who the artist is by their sound/style. etc.
it seems to me because Ai music is a combination of many millions of artists all mixed together, you
get a kinda soulless perfection, not an individual sound of an artist.
maybe its the future.im not sure.
what do you think? 

Neo

unwelcome visitor

i have an unwelcome visitor
living in my house
i named him Fred
because i wished he where dead
i gave him a name
because i think he felt
he was one of the family
he `d been staying around
annoying me for so long
so today i`d had enough
D (ead) Day
i bought a can of fly spray
and chased and sprayed him all day
fred was fast and tricky
so i resorted to a fly swot
old fashion  but effective
one good swing
he met his end
now he`s just a stain on the glass
