Would Watson discover this, though? Even if you marked all the lyrics with a year, would it be able to make that sort of inference? I don't think so, I doubt it is able to form anything like a concept of time, or person, or a person changing over time, especially not from an input of song lyrics.

"if (sontexts[1980].contains("love") && songtexts[2014]contains("war"){print "Dylan changed his focus from lovesongs to protesting against war"}
