Anachronisms – things that no longer fit the times we live in. And for once I wasn’t the only thing that belonged in that category. Included were also a few songs about things I fear are becoming outdated, things like Democracy, privacy, and kindness. I also indulged in a cautionary rant about A.I. after discovering a song called Five Cents A Dance that wasn’t the Larry Hart song, was sung by (what I believe is) an A.I. generated version of Kat Edmonson’s unique voice, on an album by someone named Miles LaRoque who put out a dozen album all in 2025!? Deep fakes can sometimes be funny, but real artist are being hurt by people ripping off their talents and this both angers and frightens me.
