"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" Prince, Tom Petty & More | Rock Hall 2004 Induction

Image
 I saw Prince in Boston on the tour where he did a set of solo acoustic guitar.  He was truly an incredible guitarist.  This solo with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison's son is one of the greatest guitar solos I have seen. In the days after Prince died, the  New York Times  ran an article about the performance in which Petty and others who performed with Prince that night shared their memories. According to the paper, the show’s producer, Joel Gallen, asked Prince to play the song’s solos, since he was there to be inducted anyway. But during rehearsals, Marc Mann, who plays guitar with Lynne, took over, knocking out a note-perfect recreation of Eric Clapton’s original mid-song solo. “And we get to the big end solo,” Gallen says, “and Prince again steps forward to go into the solo, and this guy starts playing that solo too!” There wasn’t time to get it right, but Prince assured Gallen everything would be fine at the performance. He told the producer to ...

More realistic voice AI DESSA

  🇺🇸 Jack Dorsey’s new AI voice model Dessa is absolutely insane. There is no way to distinguish it from a human, man … crazy. Thats kinda cool, but many people will get attached to it and isolate from real humans even more. Many will get scammed on the phone, especially… https://t.co/EY0343k6mN — Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) October 24, 2026

Digital Ouija Boards?

Image
In the past, I have often observed the similarity of Ouija boards with Smartphones/computers https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2023/12/ai-aint-no-algorithmsupernatural.html From GLP...   **Similar jobs (Ouija board vs smartphone)** - Both are **handheld/table boards** you look down at and use with your fingers. - Both turn **letters and numbers** into messages. - Both answer **yes / no** and open-ended questions. - Both are treated as a **channel to someone who isn’t in the room**. - Both use a **moving pointer** (planchette vs cursor/finger). - Both can deliver **text that feels like it came from elsewhere**. - Both work in a small group or alone, often at night. - Both invite **trust in an unseen source** (spirit vs network/algorithm). - Both can **spell words one character at a time** (planchette vs keyboard). - Both are easy to **put away** and still feel like they left a message behind.

Recalling the Saturday Morning Cartoon Ritual...on Saturday morning.

Image
One of the cherished memories of my childhood is the ritual of watching Saturday morning cartoons.  NO SCHOOL...NO SCHOOL... NO SCHOOL Mom runs to the local bakery to buy a fresh bag of homemade pastries or she would make buttermilk blueberry pancakes.   Then the bargaining session with my brother over what cartoons would be watched at what timeslot.   Taking notes on the Wacky Races cars, their car numbers, and names of the drivers. Anxiously waiting for the toy commercials.  What do the new Hot Wheels look like? If you missed the cartoon, there was no getting it back. Wonderful memories.

Jason and Crrow do a nice job detailing the history of commercial music in the USA.  They also cover the Invisible Rainbow and how the introduction of radio coincided with the onset of flu.  The unseen plays a far greater role in this realm than we are led to believe.
