are they releasing misogynistic songs? afaik the only crime against humanity McCartney has ever committed is rhyming 'biker' with 'like her'

I mean, that's a different argument

Not really, they may paint, but do they describe it as their 'creative outlet'? Sheeran writes the kind of pop that Dylan subverted; saccharin-sweet and bad for you. It's small wonder Sheeran needs a creative outlet when he's churning out such dross.

He says it's *a* creative outlet. I've no love at all for Sheeran, but the fact he paints isn't really evidence of anything

My point here is that his MUSIC is evidence of him needing a creative outlet.

Gary Numan is an accomplished painter. Jean-Michel Jarre sold his paintings as a youngster before he made his name in music, and has just had an exhibition of his AI art in the last few weeks.

Have they, at any time, referred to the act of drawing images as 'my creative outlet'? Also, i saw a JMJ concert in St Malo many years ago, the laser and light show were art in and of themselves. AI art can only ever be Slop. Discuss, using all 2,000 characters of the Alt-text allowance.

I'm sure they could if they wanted to. It's one of many creative outlets for both men, as far as I'm aware. I'll agree with you about JMJ's laser and light shows, they are sublime. The music's kept me going for years too. I'm on the fence about AI art - I can't draw and don't intend to use AI to try
