"
Debussy understood that a work of art, or an effort to create beauty, was
Always regarded by some people as a personal attack."
The Seduction of Claude Debussy, The Art of Noise
Good, bad, and indifferent has Always existed. Sometimes genius is only seen in the rear view mirrors of time. Remember that fist fights used to break out at the debut of works that we regard now as art. We don't fortunately have many of those event follow-ups of late, and it's good to see that the company gathered Here is keeping a lid on it. ;) *G*
I have my favorites. Y'all have yours. Place your bets on who and what will survive the grindstones of time and tastes.
Will the aliens, after sampling the selections on the Voyagers, show up demanding more Elvis? Or will they get more 'au courant' on their way here? One has to keep in mind that radio waves are expanding at the speed of light and Veger 1 &2 are a little pokey in contrast...*S*
What if they want Sum 41? Or the Black Keys ("You can go with this, or you can go with That...") ? Will they be fans of Deadmau5? Or Pussy Riot?
I gave reading minds....same 4 things, basically. Predicting the future is a waste of time, which we don't have enough of....
"Everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die."
Ellen McIlwaine, song of the same line....;)
