Sounds like a dream, but decades ago this happened: I was working late at Rolling Stone & got a call on my direct line from someone on the road with Bruce & the E Street Band. Bruce wanted to perform some r&r classic that night, but no one could remember the words. Did I happen to know the lyrics?
Don't often remember my dreams but on Saturday while sleeping badly in an overhot hotel room I dreamt that Billy Joel asked me to play soprano sax at his gig. Sadly, all the keys looked weird and I declined, so we went backstage instead and my mum made everyone tomato cup-a-soups.

In the 1960s, I remember running all over this ship; my parents would be seeing friends off before their voyage across the Atlantic, and we kids would go exploring. The whole thing was so huge, I’d be scared that we would forget to disembark in time.

“The immortal is scraped unconsenting from the mortal” — I didn’t have Robert Lowell predicting AI, either, but I guess that’s why we’re so lucky to have poets
Pre-coffee musing:
So, is this the dystopian future of art/writing?
-AI bros flood "the market" with scraped content
-Orgs/publishers/etc who used to buy real art cheap out & use AI scrapes
-Artists/writers, already severely underpaid, can't self support making real art
-AI starts scraping itself
