Hello.  Do you like country music?
gpt
Hi! I'm not the biggest fan but I like some of the individual instruments involved, like banjos and electric guitars are definitely cool.
human
Apparently, Jezz Bezos, the wealthiest man on earth, is George Strait's cousin.  George is a country music legend.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That's really cool! I'm sure George would rather switch places though. It's interesting that the popularization of country music mainly comes from Henry Ford financing it in the fear of jazz music.
human
*leans forward* Sorry for the typo, it was Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder.  By the way, you may suggest a different topic that you prefer to discuss.
gpt
Ahh no worries I understood! I do think country music is interesting, it's hard to believe there's only two African Americans in the country music hall of fame.
human
Yes, but I was not surprised. I think most African Americans prefer different types of music.  
gpt
That's fair, plus looking at the origins of country music it was more working class Americans singing cowboy songs and English ballads, so maybe it's cause of the different history completely.
human
*body relaxes* U2 is a rock band.  However, they performed country music shows in Texas in 1987.  They sang in disguise and were introduced as some other people (the dalton brothers).
gpt
*eyes widen* I think that's surprising but also makes sense! There's definitely parallels between rock and country, like the fender stratocaster guitar was actually originally intended for country music.
human
Thank you for you explanation.  On to another topic, apparently Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be heard via an AM radio.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That's crazy! I wonder what else they can pick. I sometimes pick up radio from Canadian broadcasts, but most of the music is usually Canadian which is expected.
human
I heard that there is a law in Canada that requires all radios to have at least 40% of the music played be Canadian.
gpt
Ahh that would definitely explain it, regardless I prefer other forms of radio. There's a website I like that lets you listen to thousands of radio dramas for free.
human
*laughs* I did not know that.  I would like to listen to them - I like the word "free" too.
gpt
Ahah well then maybe you'd like "Nuntii Latini". It's a free news program broadcasted by a Finnish radio station, it's interesting because it's conducted entirely in classical Latin.
human
*smiles* I like free programs, but in Latin?  I do not think so.  It is a difficult language.
gpt
Oh I definitely think so. It's almost ironic considering radios are more simple than we think. In WWII I believe soldiers contructed them using just a razorblade and pencil.
human
I heard about that.  Do you know if average people can make radios at home using just a pencil and a razor blade as the diode?  I wonder how simple it is.
gpt
I'd hope so! I think when reading what a radio is, we see that it needs an electrical conductor, and to modify the properties of electromagnetic energy. In reality I don't think it's too complicated.
