I think you have a point in that all music lives on in each of us and somehow dies with us unless revived by someone else in the future. This may not pertain to cultural music or patriotic song but for all else it's a do or die situation. Maybe the new sound to hit the airwaves will be a revival of some Bavarian Folk music with a Rock spin. I still prefer the days of Woodstock and sometimes wish I could go back and stay. I guess it was the peace thing and the summer of love mood, which may have been escapism from the harsher realities of the outside world but nonetheless a great place to be. Play on!
