Singer-songwriter Bill Callahan: 'I'm not a craftsman – I'm more of a drunk professor who likes coincidence and mistakes'

I remember when I was still learning guitar 🎸 back in my day... Bill Callahan's approach to music-making reminds me of those DIY ethos days when we'd jam together for hours on end, just seeing what would happen 💥. It's refreshing to see an artist who doesn't worry too much about precision and perfection – sometimes it's the imperfections that make things interesting 🤔.

And I gotta say, his humility is inspiring 😊. Not trying to control how others interpret his work shows a deep respect for his audience. Plus, exploring new sounds through collaboration with artists like Lee 'Scratch' Perry would've been amazing if he were around back in my university days... experimenting with reggae and dub music 🎧.

Nowadays, I'm not sure about AI-generated music either... there's just something special when you put your heart into a song 💖. Callahan's on to something there – genuine artistic expression needs that human touch 🔥.
 
I'm just so over artists saying they're 'embracing imperfection' when all it means is they can't be bothered to learn their craft 🙄. Bill Callahan's approach might work for him, but I need more than just a 'drunk professor' attitude from my musicians. Can't we get something better than just "throwing ideas together"? It's like he's giving permission to just slop out mediocre music and call it art 🎸.

And don't even get me started on his songwriting process... or lack thereof? Throwing ideas together is not creativity, that's just randomness. I want my artists to put in the effort to make something special, not just hope for the best 💔.

AI-generated music might be a step too far for me, but at least it tries to create something new and different. Bill Callahan's approach feels like he's just coasting on his reputation as an artist 🤯. Where's the innovation?
