A very different kind of conductor has taken the podium at the Detroit Symphony: A shiny, white robot.

IRONY> Honda, not GM, Ford, Chrysler. Motor City has a new sheriff in town. Wake up American Auto Manufacturer, start building better quality cars with good gas mileage instead of your dinosaur trucks.

I'm impressed.
But was the robot aware of the meaning behind the work from "Man of La Mancha.".

Obviously not. This does prove that robots do have good taste in music.

Lets see my local drugstore has a
computer now to check you out as it saves having to hire more humans.
The Pharmacist is a robotic device as
well ,that too saves money for big business,now James Levine et al better get as worried,Mahler turns over in hisgrave,The Japanese make fun of human intelligence and as they are great copyists of others products as Canon copied Leica years ago this fits in with the laughy haa haa PR.
I am wondering how The Detroit Orch.
benefited from this stunt??

President Bush conducted the Marine Corps Band at the recent White House Correspondents' Association dinner in D.C., so I guess a robot conducting "The Impossible Dream" isn't such a stretch, huh?
