Doug--I started to say that's an entirely different matter (i.e., charts) but it isn't. Here's the deal, though. One of the momentary pundits of our time--I think Alvin Toffler, but don't hold me to that--noted the idea of "time jump," by which he meant that Confucius and Sokrates were unknown to each other but both are known to us, and we are thereby enriched. If I recorded all the stuff Doris Day used to sing, sure, probably two CD's would sell. BUT--musically, there is something in "I'm Forever," etc. that is worth stirring into the mix of whatever we're in the process of inventing. I don't believe in radical departures; I think progress is really always incremental, halting, and much less revolutionary than we like to imagine. Therefore, the more spare parts we keep lying around the workshop, the better. I wouldn't bring back the pterodactyl, but feathers? Hmmm. Wonder what else we can do with feathers. But absolutely none of this is about the proverbial "charts."
