Why yes, that is the New York Times

If you were reading page BU4 of the Sunday New York Times, and saw a reference to my current project, why, yes, your eyes are true.

I can’t offer the same apologia for Songsmith’s output when it transmutes the rock canon into synthetic treacle. The most excruciating Songsmith output I’ve run across on YouTube is a result of feeding the software vocals of the Beatles song “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” Listening to it, I wonder if software is now capable of thinking like a human being and can enjoy its own private jokes at our expense. If so, I suspect that Songsmith is snickering.

It wasn’t just in the Sunday Times, it was in the Int’l Herald-Tribune and the roughly 40-some other papers that use Sunday Times content in THEIR Sunday papers.

I believe that the provided hyperlink meets guidelines for citations. I have new lines to enter in my vita now.
