50 years ago, 1972, the American Legion building was built and came to the home of American Legion members in Kewanee. But, the history of the American Legion goes back more than 50 year to well nearly 100 years. Formed in the wake of World War 1, American Legion posts were popping up all over the country when hundreds of World War 1 veterans working in the various factories in Kewanee were called to join the American Legion. The Legion found their home in various meeting spaces over the years until 1971 when plans began for the Legion to build their own building. It got off to a rocky start on construction, as our friend Dave Clark explains on the latest edition of Kewanee Back When, but today, the Kewanee American Legion Post 31, is a staple of the Kewanee community. On the newest edition of Kewanee Back When, Dave Clark discusses the history of The American Legion in Kewanee.

In 2019 the indie band YACHT set out to challenge themselves artistically and technologically. After meeting with developers at Google, the band launched an attempt create a record using artificial intelligence. The effort would require the band to use music and lyrics generated by A.I and reproduced by the band as actual songs. The result is a groundbreaking and extraordinary record called Chain Tripping. Three years later, a documentary about the remarkable making of Chain Tripping, called The Computer Accent, is being rolled out in limited release in theaters. I was very lucky to get the chance to talk with the directors of The Computer Accent, Sebastian Pardo and Riel Roch Decter about the documentary, the band, the record, and the intersection of art and technology.
