By Michael Baginski/ If you frequent the Internet, you’ll no doubt have come across the new “if such and such was performed by so and so” trend. Pink Floyd as Dire Straits, Perry Como as Metallica, and so forth. Don’t hate me, but I’ve pulled one of these stylistic AI remakes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) this year: Fleetwood Mac if it was an Irish folk song.
“Go Your Own Way” is one of my favourite songs and Irish folk one of my favourite styles of music. And by the Jesus, this mix goes together like chocolate and peanut butter.
AI re-imaginations prompt all sorts of moral dilemmas, to be sure, but I’m willing to give the robots this one. It’s such a great version, I’d like to believe that Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks (synthetically transported into the streets of Dublin in this video), would listen and give it a hearty “sláinte.”
At least more so than the real Sinatra probably gave the real Sex Pistols screaming “My Way.”
