The "now" is easy to experience. I like old music, old books, cars, houses, whatever...because they bring me some place, at least partially, that I'll never be able to fully experience. In this sense, the old will always be new for me. Ive spent hours seeking out old bands that were doing stuff way ahead of their time, at a time when whatever they were doing wasn't popular. It doesn't matter what one is doing today, because an audience can be found for virtually anything. Next to everything is so easily accessible no matter how obscure it might claim to be.The new is just...well...right outside my window or another Youtube click away.
Shit, I even wander around old cemeteries from time to time, checking out old/interesting gravestones sometimes dating back well over a hundred years for the sole purpose of going home and seeing if any information at all can be found about them online.
Why do ya think people love dead rock stars so much?
