Jed the Humanoid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jed the Humanoid is a song title and character in the 2000 album The Sophtware Slump released by indie-rock band Grandaddy. Jed also appears in the track Jed’s other poem (Beautiful Ground) from the same album.
According to the song, Jed the Humanoid (originally called JEDDY-3, then just Jed) was a homemade robot assembled in the kitchen, made out of 'this and that and, whatever was at hand'. Among other things, Jed was capable of compiling thoughts and solving problems, as well as singing and talking, and performing actions such as running and walking. Jed also wrote poems. Poems for no one.
Although his creators praised and celebrated when he was built, after a few years his owners began to forget and ignore Jed, paying him less attention with the wave of new technology, leading to his eventual suicide after a bottle of booze he drank, causing his system to die.
