The Chorus #89: The Ego Episode, Or Does Big Blunt Better?

<p>Recorded on the day Shane MacGowan died, while we happened to be drinking and chatting about whiskey named after his band, there is talk of the horrors of hubris and the war it often results in, as well as the effectiveness of ego when it comes to getting something done. Also, we speculate on what can we do about casualties of creativity, the injuries caused by innovation, and other alliterative AI themes.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Reviewed this week:</p> <p><strong>FILM: </strong>Napoleon</p> <p><strong>MUSIC: </strong>Drakensberg Boys&#39; Choir - Noel Tour, The Chicago Sessions - Rodney Crowell, Spotify Wrapped</p> <p><strong>BOOKS:</strong> Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story by Bono</p> <p><strong>TV:</strong> The Creator, Band Of Brothers</p> <p><strong>WHISKEY: </strong>The Pogues Irish Whiskey</p> <p>Stay in touch at <strong>https://www.facebook.com/TheChorusPodcast</strong>.
