Rock and Roll at 62 years old

 In about an hour I’ll make my way to my studio, collect my guitar and then drive up to The Builders Arms in New Barnet. I’ll spend the rest of the evening playing music in The False Dots, hopefully to a crowded pub full of people.

 We play a mash up of Ska Reggae and Punk Rock. If it wasn’t for the fact I need to drive the gear back, I’d also be having a fair few beers. I’ll also be having a chat with a few of my reprobate mates. It would be great to see a few of my blog readers there. Always nice when people turn up. In an idle moment I was wondering what AI should be doing to pass the time, as a 62 year old man. The results made me want to reach for the Bottle of Jack & Shotgun.  It seems to me there isn’t too much intelligence in AI! Here what it said >>>>>
