 Ad libitum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ad libitum is Latin for "at one's pleasure", often shortened to Ad lib.
Ad libitum is also used in psychology and biology to refer to the "free-feeding" weight of an animal, as opposed, for example, to the weight after a restricted diet.
For example, "The rat's ad libitum weight was about 320 grams." The term is used in laboratory studies which have shown that free-fed animals are often less healthy and have shorter lifespans than animals with restricted diets.

Marshall McLuhan counseled students of Homo cyber to study ads, the neon unconscious of the modern age.
Before what would come to be called the Creative Revolution, ads eschewed quirky wit for sober salesmanship.
The new creatives mocked the status-conscious excess of the Cadillac class and celebrated the question-authority, do-your-own-thing values of the counterculture.

Consider, for example, the recently cancelled Miller Lite campaign, in which the best ads in the series parodied anti-advertising: At the start of each ad in the campaign's earliest efforts, the transparently ersatz creative superstar Dick foreshadowed the imminent anti-ad doublespeak, but none followed.
In addition to being an effective, highly interactive ad, it also offered implicit commentary on the whole gray area of advertising-editorial synergy, and how such synergies, which are usually far less visible than they were in that particular partnership, can color editorial integrity.
This is especially true of the Absolut Literature series of ads, to which authors John Irving, Dominick Dunne, Douglas Coupland, and Julia Alvarez have all contributed.

 News & Opinion: Ad Lib (Memphis Flyer . 08-25-97)
The ad -- for Love In Action, a private organization that practices religious counseling as a means ofhelping homosexuals "convert" to heterosexuality -- featured a picture of the group's executive director John Smid, beneath the quote, "I used to be a homosexual." The rest of the ad's message read, "There is hope for you."
That the ad does not mirror the editorial position of the Flyer is beyond question.
While that line might be clear to publishers, it's not always clear to their readers, as the protests about the Bay Guardian's "hypocrisy"and the letters to the Flyer about Smid's ad indicate.

Furthermore, in contexts in which the same pieces were constantly repeated, musical detail could be added layer by layer through a combination of intuitive group interaction and leader direction - a process suggestive of the 'head arrangement' of jazz.
That Melbourne was entering an age in which social change was 'as easy as growing your hair' and nowism and happenings were the order of the day undoubtedly contributed to a widespread misunderstanding of the serious intent behind his approach.
Although the last part of Playing Ad Lib discusses improvisatory practice in the context of progressive or avant-garde tendencies, in jazz alone there are many valid positions that can be taken in relation to the notion of the avant-garde.
