Clearing my song backlog a lill'... I wrote this song over a year ago, and TBCH I think it could use more love, or humor (same:), or somethin'. The lyrics are based on my lill' "AI Fair Use Manifesto", the basic ethical logic thing I created for myself--to clarify and anchor my own #fairuse values, in a simple, intentional way. Clarity matters (there's an unreleased song about that in my backlog, it says "Kindness is more clear than nice") at least for good conscience, and beauty sleep in peace and shizzle, you know? ... 

I mean, I dunno about you, but(t) I got a LOT of questions! I like to imagine all sensitive kids who grow up with no god nor bible (like me:) do learn to write their own bits of bibles, in various ways. Who knows? Like, how do YOU figure out the right & wrong?? I'm very curious about that, and also, a bit worried... for critical thinking aka education is such an (officially) underrated muscle in Murica, ha. So, blah blah voilà, here it is at last, the AI Fair Use Manifesto--in a nerdy and pretty spreadsheet (hehe): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rdesenjmixTs4FZjOV1a2P2Lc5kIIp83XO_cvGndzKU/edit?usp=sharing

… because life on earth is a Psychedelic Cabaret, and “music is the only religion that delivers the goods” (like Frank said). 

To be clear, all I really know is I dunno shit about fck (like Socrates said:)—music and songwriting included. But(t) I feel it, the music, so damn deeep in my soul! I’m just a humble existential fool, a silly banana who likes to play and share, to question and learn. Words are my oldest best friends, hearing myself sing is a freaking miracle (trust me on that lol), and I believe curiosity and #gratitude are the keys to happiness… So voilà, there’s that.

Also, (if you’re curious) BananaSutra is not just a made up BS brand kinda word, it’s actually the name of my DIY Bible—a collection of songs telling true stories of faith, to help me (and perhaps you) make sense of a world gone wild, like bananas gone foul in shallow ignorance and deadly malevolence… Think of it as an agnostic testament of sorts, an audio book of songs with quirky lyrics about things that matter, like the definition of right and wrong, and the meaning of truth, joy, justice, peace, grace, and awe 🕊️

Some call it Artificial Intelligence, but(t) I call Authentic Imagination, Alternative Ideas, Augmented Innuendos, Abstract Illogisms… hopefully, you get the gist? The point being, life is the story we tell ourselves and LYRICS matter—each @bananasutra song has a wondering root and a loving purpose, guided by one of (my) 7 (bananas) sutras: 
- KNOWsutra : is it fair?
- BLOWsutra : is it foul?
- SHOWsutra : is it fun?
- GROWsutra : is it fear?
- FLOWsutra : is it free?
- GLOWsutra : is it fab?
- BOWsutra : is it awe?
