Remove the "made with AI" watermark/sign from this image. Keep absolutely everything else identical — the band on stage, all musicians, Marshall Sartin at the red Farfisa organ facing the crowd, the drummer exactly as he is, the other band members, the crowd, the lighting, the Woodstock-era warm film photography aesthetic. Only remove the AI watermark text, nothing else.

Marshall Sartin ( deceased)—organ &vocals, Barry Corbett(deceased)—drums, vocals, and arrangements ( Lil Spector), Danny Goode — bass & Vocals, Jarry Davis—rhythm guitar & vocals, Phil Strawn—lead guitar &vocals. Backstage photo by Ansel Adams, who had been drinking Southern Comfort with Janis Joplin and the band Chicago.

Three robots in work clothes outside The Home Depot holding landscaping tools

With all this talk about AI taking away the techie jobs, I saw three (illegal impostors) day-laborer robots in front of Home Depot this morning, waiting to be picked up for work. Since ICE is in Granbury, I’m not sure how they’ll handle these guys. George Jetson and Will Robinson had it pretty darn good.
