Long sequence involving Bob Dylan and John Lennon, filmed riding in the back of a limo driving into central London. No script or direction other than to themselves. The piece was long and incomprehensible, made worse by the fact that they were both on drugs. The sequence was intended to form part of Eat The Document, a chronicle of Dylan’s latest European concert tour.

Wrote an R&B groove derived from “at the parade”, weaving in the image of Dylan and Lennon in the “limo” film, 5/27/1966. America is quite the “parade”.
The Shortet version:
A use for AI: Write the second and third verses based on the first.
[5/27/2025: It already does this with machine learning. But AI music still has little specific control for composition, meaning at the beginning of a piece you choose a key and meter and a harmonic invention of some kind. We’ll see how this evolves. I think we need to make AI music very technical with difficult software with steep learning curves. This way people are challenged and rigorously engaged. It’s what we really want, but culture tells us otherwise].
