does the audience influence a songwriter by transmissions from the future?

If you're right, the all predictability is backwards-causal. I think if we look outside the experience of time, there doesn't seem to be a clear way to define whether one has an accurate analysis of the situation of elements and how they will unfold in future, or whether there exists a future position that is decaying into partitioned elements called "Present".

We can build constructs that go back, like constellation-time in Benjamin or topological-time in Deleuze, but because our sense-perception is limited by sensory-apparatus, the experience of time requires that it be linear-forward. So no, a songwriter wouldn't be able to experience anything like "transmissions" from a future audience, though that future audience can certainly alter the meaning of the past songwriter's contribution.

Every time I heard a new John Lennon song I would have the same reaction. "What is this crap, he can't be serious?" and every time he would win me over.

The reason most music resonates is because it follows patterns and traditions set down over time.

The Buddy Hollies and John Lennons are the rare exception.

The future has yet to be made manifest and so, it does not yet exists.

What comes from "no thing"?
