About this episode
This morning's headlines, this evening's ballad
0:00
The microphones are humming low, the banners fly on a bitter wind
0:07
Two houses shouting, row on row, for a fight they can't begin to win
0:14
They promise change with a steady hand, they draw their lines out in the sand
0:21
And the calendar keeps turning slow, with a long, long way to November's snow.
0:28
And the old man with the worn guitar, he sings by the flickering light
0:35
Says I've heard this story near and far, every morning, noon, and night
0:42
The ink is new but the page is old, a tale of brave and a tale of bold
0:49
The headlines scream a different name, but the heart of the story is the same.
0:57
The price of bread and gasoline, a worry in a tired sigh
1:04
From a tower tall and seldom seen, a man decides if rates get high
1:11
Jerome Powell speaks and the markets shake, for goodness and for heaven's sake
1:18
Just trying to make the numbers meet, for the tired souls on a dusty street.
1:25
And the old man with the worn guitar, he sings by the flickering light
1:32
Says I've heard this story near and far, every morning, noon, and night
1:39
The ink is new but the page is old, a tale of brave and a tale of bold
1:46
The headlines scream a different name, but the heart of the story is the same.
1:54
They built a mind from wire and code, a ghost that whispers in the cloud
2:01
To carry our creative load, and think our very thoughts out loud
2:08
From OpenAI to the valley's gleam, we're living out a science dream
2:15
Or maybe a warning we should heed, about a strange and growing need.
2:22
And the old man with the worn guitar, he sings by the flickering light
2:29
Says I've heard this story near and far, every morning, noon, and night
2:36
The ink is new but the page is old, a tale of brave and a tale of bold
2:43
The headlines scream a different name, but the heart of the story is the same.
