Eva Narcissus Boyd was buried in North Carolina earlier this week

She was living in Kinston. That's like a holding pattern for death.

Do we really want to be listening to bands like Bad Company when we're in the retirement home?

[Publius]

First off, "Locomotion" was written by Carole King and her first husband. Eva Boyd was the family babysitter. King's songs will probably last as long as Cole Porter's.

Paul McCartney should be classified next to Richard Rodgers because both of them knew how to craft a memorable tune and weren't ashamed of it. Will McCartney's songs last as long as Rodgers'? Probably.

A century from now, I could see people listening to classic rock the way we listen to preserved performances of classic jazz (Armstrong, Ellington, Reinhart & Grappelli). The Beatles and especially the Rolling Stones will have listeners long after the bodies of their members have turned to dust.

There are other classic acts out there, probably too many to mention. (I'm a member of the Moody Blues cult myself.) But lasting to the end of time? Puleeze!

When most of my generation finally leave this vale of tears – if they ever do – maybe then the 60s music will fade away. But what will take its place? The Insane Clown Posse, Eminem, Twisted Sister?

Maybe if the 'Boomers one day, before they pass into the vale of tears, realize that their music lead to Eminem and the Insane Clown Posse, they'll reconsider statements like that.

Sincerely,

Gen-X Freeper.

From the article: "Turn on the TV and chances are you’ll hear 60s music in commercials"

10-15 years from now it will be 80's music. God help us all.

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, yeah, you guys were laughing yesterday, but you're gonna be begging to borrow my Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs 8-tracks now...

"Woolah Boolah...Woolah Boolah...Woolah Boolah...watch it now, watch it..."

[God luvs America]

As timeless as the sun rising from the east is the music of Led Zeppelin. There will never be another band like Zep; their music has stood the test of time and stands up to ANYTHING being produced today or the past twenty years.

Look at the number of albums produced by the Who, Beatles or Stones...Zeppelin had eight studio albums during their storied twelve year stint.

They are absolutely amazing and will be shaping generations to come.

[Mr. Mojo]

Will classic rock last for all eternity?

Yes

[gcruse]

I was thinking about something like this the other day. The sixties music is now forty years old. I was in my twenties in the sixties and there is no way forty-year-old music from that time, ie the 1920s, was anywhere near as popular then as sixties music is now. Maybe some Gershwin, and that was it. 'Old' popular music didn't go back much further than the music of the forties, such as early Sinatra and big band sound.

Rock and roll may, indeed, never die.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Who knows if classic rock will last forever, but my father still likes the big bands... that was his era, when I'm 70 no doubt I'll still like Zep, Floyd, Boston, and all the goods bands of my time.

What really scares me though is the thought classic rap will last forever.

[WKB]

It will take forever to figure out what Jim Morrison and The Doors were talking about.

[sit-rep]

Just until we die man... Then the world will be left to Rappers.

[Diddle E. Squat]

No, it'll be run into the ground. I absolutely hate Led Zeppelin after that stupid car commercial constantly blaring it. Time and place and such.

[Consort]

Classic Rock starts from about the early/mid '50s onward. All of it was used in movies, commercials, etc. No one mentioned the '50s here, eventually no one will mention the '60s, then the '70s, '80s, etc.

[T Minus Four]

60's music ping! :-)

[Remember Ruby Ridge]

I know I will still be listening to (classic) Aerosmith until my dieing day;-)

[csvset]

A cruise ship line is using Iggy Pop's Lust For Life.

[RightWhale]

Amazing what a drop sixth bass root will do for a tune. Maybe even create a whole industry.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

I absolutely hate Led Zeppelin after that stupid car commercial constantly blaring it. Time and place and such.

Yeah, know what you mean. I used to be a great fan of U2 till I saw this:

Bono has no shame.
