When times get tough, as in America during the Great Depression and
the Second World War, music gets soft. The times, surveys say, are
once again tough, and they're likely to stay that way. A sustained
period of stylistic regression is thus a possibility. But there is no
law that says history has to repeat itself in an endless loop.
