Jeff Buckley’s Mom Turned Down Brad Pitt’s Biopic

The late musician Jeff Buckley’s mother, Mary Guibert, once turned down Brad Pitt’s request to play her son in a biopic. Guibert was skeptical about the idea of Pitt dyeing his hair and wearing contact lenses to portray Jeff. Despite Pitt inviting Guibert to his wedding to Jennifer Aniston, she ultimately decided against the scripted film and opted for a documentary instead.

Director Amy Berg helped Guibert and Pitt land on the idea of a documentary to honor Jeff Buckley’s life. The documentary, titled “It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley,” premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Jeff Buckley, the son of Guibert and musician Tim Buckley, signed a record deal with Columbia Records in 1992 and released his only album, “Grace,” in 1994.

Jeff Buckley’s death in 1997, drowning in the Wolf River, was shrouded in mystery. Rolling Stone published an investigation into the events of that night, but autopsy results were not included. Despite speculation, Buckley did not overdose but drowned due to the river’s strong undertow.

Berg emphasized that discovering Jeff Buckley’s music happens at the right time for each individual. His cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” remains one of his most iconic performances. In recent times, Jeff Buckley has gained popularity on platforms like TikTok, with more followers than even Bob Dylan under his hashtag. This resurgence in popularity signifies another moment in pop culture history for the late musician. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic in recent years, with advancements in technology driving new developments in the field. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI has been revolutionizing the way we live and work. But what exactly is AI, and how does it work?

At its core, AI refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. This can include tasks such as recognizing speech, making decisions, or even playing games. AI is made possible through the use of algorithms, which are sets of rules that a computer follows to solve a problem.

There are different types of AI, including narrow AI and general AI. Narrow AI, also known as weak AI, is designed to perform a specific task, such as playing chess or recognizing faces. General AI, on the other hand, refers to machines that can perform any intellectual task that a human can. While narrow AI is currently more common, researchers are working towards developing general AI.

One of the key components of AI is machine learning, which allows machines to learn from data and improve their performance over time. Machine learning algorithms can be trained on large datasets to recognize patterns and make predictions. This is how AI-powered systems are able to make recommendations, translate languages, and even drive cars.

Another important aspect of AI is deep learning, a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks to mimic the way the human brain works. Deep learning has been instrumental in advancing AI technology, enabling machines to process complex data and perform tasks that were previously thought to be impossible for computers.

While AI has the potential to revolutionize industries and improve our everyday lives, it also raises ethical and societal concerns. There are fears about job displacement, privacy issues, and the potential for AI systems to make biased decisions. As AI continues to evolve, it will be important for researchers, policymakers, and the public to address these challenges and ensure that AI is used responsibly.

Overall, AI is a powerful technology that has the potential to transform the world as we know it. By understanding how AI works and the opportunities and challenges it presents, we can harness its potential benefits and navigate the complexities of this rapidly advancing field.
