so much of "our" music endures today. Not just as sweet memories or quaint remembrances of a bygone era or, as in the case of your daughter, useful songs for continuing the protest, but for itself as well. The music still lives, still affects today's music as well. Paul McCartney and so many others from that era still bring in audiences of all ages!

That was never true of earlier generations. I think back to when I was a kid. When the Big Band days were over, they were OVER, by golly, along with some of the pop music from the early 50s -- Perry Cuomo, some of the groups. Sinatra was one of few who endured to an extent, but I think he was a special case. I was never a fan, but he had them aplenty. As for any music earlier than the 40s, it was over and forgotten very quickly.

OUR music endures. Our music changed music, helped change the world, and still endures after all these years. It's amazing to me.
