Quote: Lazzard @ 26th June 2023, 10:42 AMI have often wondered why this is.
There is a theory that it has to do with music videos - a constant reminder of what 'was', making it more 'present'.
Music of our parent's youth used to be a memory - but very much in the past.
It's a fascinating subject
Although the existence of music videos enables us to see the performers at their prime. We don't have to watch them struggling 60 years on.
In fact I'd rather go to see a tribute band than the original performers trying to re-create their catalogue. It is a more realistic experience.
