Listening to these incredible songs almost makes me feel as if I lived a little slice of it myself&#8230; I&#8217;m not bashing the music of my generation, though, because I like lots of that too, but there is something timeless about this era which I really hope is treasured and never fades away.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s hope for humanity, after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year seemed to have been a terrible year for legendary artists dying.
