BTW, who is Alicia Keys?

I doubt Elvis or The Beatles or The Rolling Stones will be listened to and respected hundreds of years from now, but they have to be considered "legendary", don't they? The people that made them famous are still alive so when they all kick off that'll be the real test of time.
Even Mozart and Beethoven still haven't been dead for hundreds of years (well, maybe Mozart, but just barely into the plural hundreds) so we don't know if even they'll have that kind of staying power.
I'll bet mournful religious dirges are the oldest songs people still know, and I doubt they'll outlast "Happy Birthday".
I do know that I plan on having another 50-odd breathing years and I'll make it my sacred duty to keep "Appetite For Destruction" alive until I'm finished.
