'why won't you show your face?'

You're being deliberately glib. My face is a frequent flier, just not every week. I've made a number of videos for Apple Corps and MPL regarding Imagine Multimedia and Beatles Invade... Why? Because it was a business discussion, and they insisted. - Plus there's the Silent Vigil, AMPP and The Dakumentary. Lots of my face to go around. I don't need or want a big-budget sequel to my epic activism films. Those are the dinner at Mendy's, to make a Seinfeld quip. Again, another reason why Paul and Peter hit me up about the Beatles draft. They loved the Weeded Out script, but they also loved The Dakumentary. They saw me as an anti-establishment punk that wouldn't be bought and sold. Precisely the person to draft their Mad Men-style scheme. - I just think that livestreams are stupid and it would become fashion, not activism. My face is plenty visible, and you're just mad that you can't make an AI double. My face is part of my iconography. My voice is my property. The black screens are why I became famous. Without my body, my voice is superhuman, and people listen to my rants. It only unsettles PR hacks who can't package a blank screen. - The pro musicians don't care: they can pick it up off a recording + chart. That's what I did with the Beatles songs.
