Spinal Tap, one of world’s greatest mock bands, managed to survive the ups and downs of an industry known for chewing up and spitting out artists with reckless abandon.

From the soaring heights of hit records to the dismal depths of canceled tours, they rocked on. They survived drummers who mysteriously blew up and groupies who became wives… or whatever the f*%$ they are.

Tap, as their known to fans, beat the odds with pluck, timing, and generous portions of spandex. If you’re an investor, Spinal Tap even has some lessons on how you can survive the highs and lows of the market, with or without spandex.

And I got those financial lessons; I got more… a lot more. But hey, enough of my yakkin’; whaddaya say? Let’s boogie!

The news and television has been dominated by Michael Jackson’s death. Yet there is one aspect of his life that is really fascinating: the way he managed his finances.

How is it possible for the number 4 highest selling artist (over 800 million records) in the history of music to be $400 million in debt?

I suppose it’s pretty simple. If you can spend more money than you make, then anyone can do it. Apparently he was making $20 million per year, and spending $30 million. Add a bunch of lawsuits and your own 2,800 acre amusement park, and it’s possible to get to a debt of $400 million.

So what?

For years, during the late 1980s, I was a disc jockey.

The shifts ranged from six hours to 12 hours, six days a week. During that time, I had a stack of records from the list of top 40 songs to play. I would play about two songs from the top 40 list.

And then I would mix in an “oldie,” a non-current selection from a library of a couple hundred songs.

Over. And over. And over.

Day in. Day out.

Now, there are entire eras of music that I used to love that I can no longer listen to. I’m sick of those songs. Lynyrd Skynyrd is ruined. I can barely listen to a couple of Led Zep songs without wanting to reevaluate my lunch.

Had AI been around I might not have had such a bad reaction.

A group of University of Granada students have created, Immamusys.

The developers say, by using Artificial Intelligence, the software they created can produce original, copyright-free and emotion-inspiring music that can change continuously.  No more six-hundred repetitions of Freebird!!!

But the lack of classic rock is just the beginning of AI’s capabilities.

As technology increases, most futurists expect minds to be upgraded by machines. However, according to author Rick Notter, of Better Sound Advice, machines are benefiting the brain right now… through music.

Music, according to Notter, can relax, rejuvenate and re-wire your current thinking machine. In fact, according to Notter, music can help you cure your insomnia, lose weight, improve your attitude, and change your life.

This isn’t necessarily a new idea–from war drums to love songs–music was meant to create emotions and emotions can create real physiological changes. Look at your friend’s face when his or her favorite song plays. Think about how you’re transported back in time when you hear a song from “back in the day.” And watch people dance

Music is also part ofa new generation of Mind Spas, something that is very much associated with Singularity mind-machine integration. Here, one doctor explains how these mind spas are revitalizing an aging population.

Dr. David Loewenstein, a University of Miami brain disorders researcher, said there’s much interest in any therapies that could help keep aging brains quick. With 78 million baby boomers beginning to hit their 60s, “there’s a big market for these sort of things.”

There are apparently a lot of ways to get to the Singularity.
