so i had a conversation where i started typing in lyrics from "bohemian rap soty." so i said scaramuce, and the robot cleverly replies, will you do the fandango? [laughter] and there's something eerie about a program that can do this. but part of what you learn as you interact with these programs, it's not so much that you're not talking to a human as that you're not talking to a human. and that turns out to be a really critical distinction. so if you ask it questions to which there is a correct answer, it will generally have that answer. if you say what country is paris in, it'll say france. how many legs do ants have? it'll say six. but if you start to ask it questions about itself, you get this very strange sense that you're talking to several thousand people that are being quickly cycled in is -- in and out. and this was what i discovered when i started to ask cleverbot about it love life.

. >> janice joplin 40 years ago sang the lyrics of a song, nothing left to lose but freedom's just anotherd for nothing left to lose. well, those sentiments are more present today thanr before, because freedom is not the freedom for the thought you love. it's the freedom for the thought you hate the most. you have to be able to tolerate what you don't necessarily like so you can be free. you know, everybody believes in free speech until you start questioning about them. what do you think about flag burning? what do you think about hate speech? what do you think about pornography? and then they'll go, well, i didn't know you were talking about that. >> what most concerns you? you and i talk all the time i know you're a news junky. what most concerns you about the retread, the ground that we're losing? >> what concerns me more than anything, and it's the privacy issue. and the government is not doing anything about it in terms of the big companies like facebook and google. i'm not saying, i don't begrudge those people for making money. nothing wrong with that. but i think americans need to k

i'll do looking at a number of lyrics where there are of course i would love to send a list of dimitra boric. and maybe a few others but to get players of these killed were i think is out of the question and fortunately. two more n.b.a. teams have moved into the second round of playoffs for atlantic city i don't know any disposing of their opponents in get five games or west top seeded team. meanwhile barely managing to keep their postseason alive surviving against underdogs memphis in the markets going home to the sea of oklahoma city who benefited from forty one points from star kevin durant's things going to plan for the preseason favorites for miami heat for the belt is under six as they seeded memphis grizzlies losing a tough game point battle of the veteran spurs team of all time and be a champion still down three games to two after winning in overtime for knowledge you know billy was not shot thirty three points doesn't believe the spurs show championship pedigree as my back tough when. when you are facing elimination and you always get something i don't know were it from energy

mean it's not a normal playing volleyball on the guarin another guy approached us we all moved away lyrics it was very surprised he said what song that was put together for those who played against him were giving way to govern noticed as it was offended or say it was play fair ok for several years. he hard pressed to find someone he knew who got him and has a bad word to say after all he was chosen not just riza billy's as a cosmonaut but also for his demeanor and signature smile certainly not a bad reputation to be associated with for this you got it. this are silly party. all right back with the headlines and just like this to us. they come in as a. some want to play with. others one says spirits. but she says that the river.

those lyrics and those words resonate because they touch a chord that is so deep, and it isn't about just an event anymore. it is about how we need to live our lives and what we need to remember. (crosby) but you're totally right. the business now would not allow that. i'm amazed at what some of the hip-hop people and the rap people are getting away with saying, you know, but i know that in pop music, you know, no way. you would be crushed like a bug if you tried to say that stuff. (paulson) so where does that passion go today? where--is that-- into activism. you know, we looked at this, and we thought, "gee, you know, we'll be able to show how we passed on the torch to these younger people." bull. they already knew. they all knew. they didn't need us to show them the way. these kids worked out very early on, all of them, that they had principles, that they had things that truly mattered to them. it's a key thing. if you don't have something that you're willing to stick up for, fight for, you have a very empty life. having something that matters to you that much raises your life, mak

baby's six and a harp and seven years of causing a business associate and brody books in prison now the lyric hold that to convict says that it was a trap a very smart trap organized by some of georgia's senior top officials. there was in fact a. cooperation a collaboration between four important ministries in the government and probably with the approval of the president of the ministry of finance the ministry of justice the ministry of interior and the prime minister's office all of which came together. with a plan to intro for a few few forms through diplomatic channels that he would not be released until the arbitration award was waived. and the rest was not the end of the story of the lawyer will get called it says that avaricious the two businessman were arrested they've been under pressure from the georgian government who promised to release him if he admits it gilds and if he refused that one hundred million dollars which the georgian side knows it goes the businessman that really puts refuse. well supporters told these really businessman deny the bribe really a chanel say that he bro

if they were offered interesting, complex lyrics and interesting, varied music and real-live vocals and people that can actually sing live, and when they perform, they don't need pyrotechnics and dancers and distractions, i bet you they'd love it. now, the average record buyer for backstreet et al. is seven, so it's not like they got tired of listening to kurt cobain. do you know what i'm saying? and they didn't-- they weren't listening to screaming trees and alice in chains and going, "mmmyyyeeegh. "mommy, i'm tired of alice in chains "and the seattle sound. give me boy-band corporate pabulum." you know, a seven-year-old did not turn away from indie rock. this was a niche that was created 'cause money was to be made. and the whole britney thing, it's just nonsense. you know, it's nonsense, and it, again, lowers the bar tastewise. most people are just indoctrinated into modes of thinking. you know, you ask most people, "why are you catholic?" "i don't know-- my dad was; my mom was. "that's why, and i've been raised in the catholic church. "i happen to have been born in a suburb here "wh

in the same thing you know i have albums apart albums with a lot of you know they're intelligent lyrics don't get me wrong but they're not always political i mean i did a political song of two thousand two called bush country and it was a funny dance song and it was a lot of metaphors now i'm not so interested in metaphors i'm interested in punch lines drop through the truth and entertaining so you know i meant i'm at a different level and i do feel like there is a very awkward space for me in the music world because i look at artists like you know just what's out there i don't want to give them any means the mainstream dues there's like three major guys in hip hop and that's all you see and then you see their boys and you see the the. three girls and you know if you look in the history of the female in hip hop you have. you have little kim that came out and she was part of the boys' crew you had remy ma she was part of the boys crew. part of the boys crew foxy part of everybody because to be there's so few female artist that just come out as a with a message like a janet stabbing like
