SCaroline Z: Yeah, more or less. But really, go back to my first post: I think some select few names and songs will survive for the general public. But nothing in-depth. People in 2216 won't be debating the Kinks v the Stones v the Mothers of Invention v Beefheart v Beach Boys v Dylan v whoever else. I think very few people, and very few works, will be generally known. But academics will certainly have a treasure trove of source material that would make historians of ancient subjects drool, and some of those will absolutely dig in to all of the above and more.
Well Captain, in case you're right, I'd like to just put it out into the universe that I vote for Good Vibrations to become the new Beethoven's 5th in 2216
