Without realizing the date.

Is it a coincidence that early this morning, I got into a short discussion with ChatGpt about this album.
lol, how futuristic?

I wanted to know how it was deciphered by AI.

This is the text.

Hi, could you explain the story being told by Rush, on the album 2112?

Certainly! “2112” is a concept album by the Canadian rock band Rush. The title track, which takes up the entire first side of the album, tells a dystopian story set in the year 2112. It follows an individual who discovers a guitar in a world where music and individual expression are suppressed by the ruling Priests of the Temples of Syrinx.

The protagonist tries to share his newfound instrument and music with the Priests, but they dismiss it, leading the individual to rebel against the oppressive society. In the end, the protagonist takes his own life as a form of protest, but there’s a hint of hope as the story suggests that his act of defiance might inspire change in the future. The album explores themes of individualism, artistic expression, and the consequences of a conformist society.

What makes you think the protagonist took their own life?

I apologize for any confusion. The interpretation of the protagonist taking their own life in “2112” is a common one, given the lyrics and the tone of the music. However, interpretations of artistic works can vary, and some listeners may see the ending differently. Some argue that the protagonist’s fate is left open to interpretation, emphasizing the rebellion and sacrifice without specifying the exact outcome. It’s ultimately a subjective aspect of the narrative that listeners may perceive in different ways.

I think I did not realize today’s date because I typically use mm/dd format.

I do love this album!

Crap! Looks like I'm going to have to do more damage to my liver and my eardrums tonight.

I hate to do it, but it's the law.
