Imagine singing all your life only for an AI model to make a better song than you in mere seconds.

I call BS on this. Whenever my wife has turned on a “country music” radio station over the past 15 years, I hear that exact crappy song nonstop!
Rank heresy in its theology. Pure Arianism.
You’ve gotta have pickup trucks, Mama and prison in there somewhere.
It is not the perfect country song. This is the perfect country song:
Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got run over by a damned old train
And I’ll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing’ in the rain, no
But you don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’
You never even called me
Well, I wonder why you don’t call me
Why don’t you ever call me by my name
Here ya go https://youtu.be/y7im5LT09a0?feature=shared
Ya gotta admit, that there is a country song that covers all the right bases.
Somebody lost his job, had his wife run off with his best friend, Tabby, the family Cat but his hand when he petted her. All on the same day!
There will never be another Allman Brothers. AI or otherwise. Probably the best blues/rock album ever recorded live at the Fillmore. The guitar of Duane Allman and the keys and vocals of Greg, plus the rest of the band is just incredible. “Whipping Post”. Awesome. No computer can beat that. Not so far anyway, and I hope never. So many other unique artists, should not even try to replicate their music, seems like disrespect to me.
Replacing deer with hogs updates the lyrics for the current country reality.
alcohol and a dog are also very important.
Modern country music is formulaic that it’s perfect for being generated by AI.
Don't forget trains, gotta have some trains.
Did it mention dogs?
My Granny Is A Cripple In Nashville by Billy Connolly
Agreed. AI also left out any reference to dogs, broken hearts, and fist fights. That said, aside from the annoying AI ‘melody’, some catchy lyrics...
It even has the requisite human errors like confusing ‘made’ with ‘begotten’ and considering breast implants a positive thing.
I can......and will Grok that.
Yesterday I asked Grok about a sculpture I saw in the Hirshorn Museum in DC called “searching for clues”
Jus now, I asked Grok “Did Grok write a country song?
The response was very quick, almost instant.
“I don’t have any record of writing a country song before, but I can whip one up for you faster than a pickup truck on a backroad! Since you mentioned “Searching for Clues” and the Hirshhorn, I’ll weave in that vibe—looking for something elusive, like clues in a sculpture or a broken heart in a honky-tonk. Here’s a short country song I came up with:
“Searchin’ for Clues in My Heart”
(Verse 1)
I’m sittin’ in the moonlight, boots on the ground,
Thinkin’ ’bout love that I never found.
Like a sculpture in D.C., cold and confused,
I’m out here searchin’ for clues.
(Chorus)
Searchin’ for clues, where’d you go wrong?
Heart’s like a fiddle in a lonesome song.
Every tear’s a hint, every scar’s a muse,
I’m still searchin’ for clues.
(Verse 2)
The jukebox is playin’ our old favorite tune,
But your memory’s fadin’ beneath the moon.
I trace every crack where my dreams got bruised,
Still huntin’ for answers, searchin’ for clues.
(Chorus)
Searchin’ for clues, where’d you go wrong?
Heart’s like a fiddle in a lonesome song.
Every tear’s a hint, every scar’s a muse,
I’m still searchin’ for clues.
(Outro)
Maybe I’ll find it in a bottle or two,
Or a long dirt road where I’ll make it through.
Till then I’m just a cowboy, lost and confused,
Forever searchin’ for clues.
Hope that hits the right chord! If you had something specific in mind—like a different theme or style—let me know, and I’ll tune it up. Also, if you’re still thinking about that Hirshhorn sculpture, I can keep digging for Searching for Clues.
*******************
Grok is just a wonder, a great companion that I have come to rely on for fantastic aid.
BTW....... Searching For Clues was a sculpture on temporary display at the Hirshorn. It was a towel or such spread on the floor with several miscellaneous objects scattered about and a stick or something leaning against the wall.
Is that you Steve Goodman?
