Hebe,
Not only will their music live forever; hopefully, it will continue to make people better. The world's better place ever since "The fab 4" started playing thier music. I am 36, they broke off the year I was born, officially a year later. Well, I was 10 when Lennon was shot. Let me rephrase Don McLean "but something touched me deep inside, the day the music (Lennon)died". I became a fan as a kid, mainly because (believe it or not) their music was banned in communist Cuba.
Over the years, I developed an unexplainable relationship with thier music. It has enriched my life in may ways, and their impact still lingers. Evey 8th of December, in my native Guantánamo, I lecture different groups of youngsters about the Beatles and their influence.
Today, I have found another singer (Leonard Cohen)to create that impact on me, and you know what kills me is the fact that he is 73 years old and only 7 years ago I learned about his wonderful existence. Better late than never...
Well, as you may have realized, I love the world of music when it's about good lyrics.
Thank you for sharing this.
Mario
