Will the songs (or other media) we have now still have relevance in 100 years by Commander Tansin A. Darcos 06/09/2018, 8:14pm PDT
Each year new songs are produced and songs get older. I sometimes wonder if the songs of our lives will even be relevant to people 50 or 100 years from now. For example, in The Guess Who's No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature will it be understood when the line "A smoke-filled-room in a corner basement / The situation must be right / A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine / We're gonna get-it-on right tonight," is referring to getting high before having sex.

A hundred years ago if you said there were people opposed to gay marriage, most people would wonder why there was opposition to prostitutes getting married (to men). The meaning of gay has changed radically.

In "The Big Chill," Meg is explaining to Alex how she has decided she wants a child. Alex looks at her with raised eyebrows. Meg then says,"It seemed like... No, it was the right decision at the time." In this wordless exchange, Alex is musing how Meg had gotten pregnant back in college and had an abortion. It's all done with innuendo and body language. But will the inferences given be clear a hundred years from now?
