The Art of Predicting the future.

My favourite quote on the future was at a gig I was at in Bexhill in January. A fan shouted out to Patti Smith: "When's the new albumn coming out?"
She replied: "You sound like my record company. Who do you think I am; Nostradamus?"


"In the year 6565,
won't need no husband, won't need no wife.
You'll pick your sons, pick your daughters too,
from the bottom of a long glass tube."
(In the year 2525)

Well, if memory serves me well, this happened in 1978, with the birth of Louise Brown. So that prediction of 6565 was only 4,587 years incorrect!
