Many of my favorite songs relate to the interaction of science and culture. There were two recent events that reminded me of that interaction.
It was recently reported in the news that Kodak is no longer manufacturing the chemicals to process Kodachrome film. The last processing lab closed up shop at the end of 2010. Although there are other film development processes, Kodachrome was a favored process because it produced very brilliant colors. Color photography that was available to the commoner was a technological revolution to our grandparents just as computers and the Internet are to us. So here is Paul Simon singing Kodachrome.
The other event was the new year. I always think of this song around New Year.
