They can easily train those generative models without owning the masters though. They're already doing it

I think my favourite music wouldn't be good in a car and cheeseburgerz commercial, and that quality in of itself makes it my favoruite music

yes, but with PE at the helm they'll eventually start to aggressively market and distribute. I don't care if it's some guy's experiment on YouTube; I'll even check it out. But I rue the day we see a 2LP 180g pressing of the followup to In Utero.
doesn't sound like a problem to me. the soul isn't there, it is a different thing, a fun novelty

I'd prefer they make fake versions.

I think Spread The Love has been used in several commercials, but I can't remember which ones.

I'm with you. The buying/buyer bothers me a bit more than the seller, though I couldn't confidently tell you a music label wouldn't do the same thing.
Given the way streaming and the decline of physical media has changed how musicians make money, I feel like we would need to identify other viable ways to make a living off your music. It was easier to be precious about this in an era of million plus album sales being easy to come by

I'm any case, the cost of licensing music is probably about to crater.

Remember the Busch beer commercial with “Simple Man”? There was a stallion rearing up and over it, “And be a simple…..Busch……kind of man.” That’s the only way I hear it now. And it’s better.

This surprised me.

I was only 10 or so; classic rock was still a few years away for me.

The first version I heard of that song was Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams
The Stones version remains my least favorite

in an interview many years ago, Bob Dylan was asked if there was a song that he wished he had written and he said wild horses...
