"legends" are a thing from the past, albeit stories, heroes, singers, etc etc...
that is why theyre called 'legends'...
no one thought Elvis, Beatles, Who, Supremes, Willie etc would be around longer than a couple of years, much the same as we see modern
artists.
our parents/grandparents all thought rock and roll was a passing trend that wouldn't last past the end of the 1950s.
Bob Dylan was once asked by a reporter how he coped with being a legend,
his reply..."im not a legend, legends are dead people!"
going back to Paul McCartney from a paraphrased quote from the mid 1960s...
"i don't see us being around having hits five years from now"
"i cant envision a time when we're still playing to audiences when we're forty, and if we are, it would be
embarrassing at that age still playing 'love me do'/'she loves you' to teenage girls"
well, fifty years later, at aged 73, he is still selling out stadiums, he's still singing old Beatle tunes and he says
its cool to see four generations of people at his shows...
the next two, three or four decades will decide who becomes a legend from the modern era of music.
