49. Even in the 70s history

Was skimmed not taught. Now days it's just completely rewritten and forgotten.

It wasn't till college I had a history class. And that was Art History. What was happening outside of art was also taught as influences on the art. And man that was eye opening. Man has been going through the same struggles since the dawn of civilization.

As for the example of The grassroots: I do post them and other bands through the years that I don't hear on ," classic rock" or "oldies" stations on the radio. They only play certain groups and the same old songs that were real mainstream. I post them in music appreciation so the young people here will hear them. And your point taken..
But that is also part of marketing. Planned obsolescence so the masses will replace evengood stuff. The old thing might still work perfectly but you need the new. And to make things seem fresh and new the stuff that the "new" is copying must be forgotten.

As for the term " low- down," this song is from the 30s ( and likely even before that) but your friend would think it's from 1993 since it was finally recorded then by a major studio. I've seen the phrase used in print as far back as the 1800s.
