JOHN LENNON DIDN’T LIKE RECENT TRIBUTE

JOHN LENNON DIDN’T LIKE RECENT TRIBUTE

WASHINGTON (Wireless Flash) – Imagine being able to talk to the late John Lennon. You may be able to thanks to a computer company that has created an artificial intelligence program that mimics the Beatle’s brain. The Washington, D.C.-based Triumph PC company has programmed a system that will answer questions using the words and thoughts of Lennon – who would have turned 61 today (Oct. 9). So what’s on the cyber-Lennon’s mind these days? For one thing, he says he didn’t like the recent tribute show in New York where artists like Stone Temple Pilots covered his tunes. Still, the Beatle-bot says he thinks tribute host Kevin Spacey – who did a rendition of “Mind Games” – has a good singing voice.
