I like to think of myself as a pre-historic mammal myself. Actually 'The 
Bees' don't look that old to me. Remember that fashions recycle every 
twenty years or so, that means the Mutantes should be coming back into 
fashion for the second time! The fashion magazines tell me that this 
year's thing is 'Freak Folk' which harks back to bands like 'Dr 
Strangely Strange' and 'Comus' from the '70s. Hendrix, Dylan and Joni 
Mitchell never went out of fashion - every year I meet kids just out of 
college with acoustic guitars and mostly they're not playing recent 
indie hits, they'll be singing Beatles and Bob Marley songs, just like 
their parents' generation did. OK, maybe a bit of REM and Radiohead, but 
most of them prefer to write their own.

Perhaps it is the case that fashion is finally catching up with us! I 
have more Oggs and Mp3s myself.

cheers,
