All right! I largely agree with you that all is transitory.
However, I'd argue that things or people that actually impact a
culture, while maybe forgotten in terms of cause and effect, would
still have a lingering impact. The old cliché of the long forgotten
stone hitting the pond but the ripples it causes continuing. Thus,
I'd argue even if the Beatles are forgotten someday (500 years from
now??), their impact is irreversible. Well, until the planet freezes
over or rock n roll is a memory.
