So I was looking for an illustration to go with a story about the Little League World Series for posting on another website, and started with Charlie Brown. The pic was kind of boring by itself, and I wondered what the AI Deep Dreams Generator might come up with. Lower right is the cumulative result. Trip city.

Nite Owl, Tony Allen and The Champs (1955) Anthony Penia Allon, aka Tony Allen, was born in New Orleans of mixed creole, Indian and black parents. He grew up a few houses down from Fats Domino who inspired him; his musical resume is solid. This original version (by Tony Allen and The Chimes – Specialty Records got the group’s name wrong) was also released as Night Owl.
Night Owl, Bobby Paris (1966) Roberto Pares, aka Bobby Paris, was a blue-eyed soul singer (with brown eyes due to his Puerto Rican heritage). In 1956 Paris sang with The Golden Keys, a neighborhood R&B group, began his recording career in 1960 and eventually became a producer for Capitol Records. His first and biggest hit came in 1966 with his cover of Tony Allen’s Nite Owl, rearranged and mashed up with Tom Jones’ 1965 hit It’s Not Unusual.
