The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Consider that birds of your feather flock together, and most people are not like this.

There are no Cole Porter radio stations, although in our splintered consumer universe there are a couple of audio or video channels you can see/hear.


Agree in part, disagree in part.

Yes, certainly birds of a feather plays a role, but the movie and tv series culture alone carries music from generation to generation. Music from many past generations, from the baroque and classical eras through the swing and pop generations are constantly incorporated into movies and often generate renewed interest in that music. Sometimes this is stylistic and sometimes note for note. Historical movies will, of course, include music from the eras that they represent (see "1917", "The Great Gatsby", and "La La Land"), but also non historical movies and series are constantly incorporating Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Bach, Gershwin, Porter, along with more current hip-hop and pop, sometimes side-by-side (see "Bridgerton", "Westworld", "Tron", "White Lotus").
