    Language changes. Culture changes. Some things stick around as long as they need to, others don’t stick around for long enough.

    I’m coincidentally listening to Beethoven’s symphony no 9, recorded in 1970, long before I was born. Admittedly, I don’t understand German, nor can I follow all the intricacies of the writing and performance, I just wanted to listen to the most legit version of Ode To Joy I could find and love the Decca Phase 4 Stereo recordings.

    I have hope for the future, but I also think that society will fracture infinitely, and that’s kind of beautiful - like the universe expanding and contracting over and over, we observe patterns at all levels in nature. We are but somewhat non self aware observers, participants along for the ride.
