Do you know who The Beatles were? It’s a Beatles song.

Yeah, I was around with Beatle mania. I stopped liking rock and roll--any kind--by the time I was thirty. In 100 years, 500 years, whatever, no one will remember them. They will be a blip in time.

The composers that are remembered are the CLASSICAL composers. Their music is still being performed and will be performed in 100 years, 500 years, whatever.

My tastes changed from the time I was 16 years old.
I also love opera. Not all opera is good but what IS still around is fabulous. If it weren't it wouldn't be performed.

The classical composers also wrote some TERRIBLE music and operas. But those dogs bit the dust a long time ago, as they should have, and what is left is the best of the best.
