To answer the initial question; no. Why? Because it is traditional. That means it has passed beyond pop culture. It has been catalogued, recorded, folk processed, and evolved. It will continue to spawn those that are interested in preserving it, and those that are inspired by it to write new stuff in the vein of the old. It's timeless lessons on life and living, how they are as relevant today as they were back when, will continue to inspire us to action and toward a more perfect understanding of the human condition. So it will not die for one very simple reason. It cannot as long as humans continue the quest. But if the reactors blow up, it may die, because so will we...... but I digress.

All the best,
