I stand in awe of your curmudgeonry, Bill D. Wehn I grow up, I wanna be just like you....
But Shambles, you are truly misguided. A thousand years from now, "Rave On" will still be a Buddy Holly song, forever identified with its author. Yes, I suppose that in some ways, it will be as much a part of tradition as the songs of Cole Porter and George & Ira Gershwin and Rodgers & Hart will be, but it will never be in what we refer to as "traditional" style. Not even if Peter, Paul and Mary choose to record it.
I think I'm learning from Bill already....
