> But I am again wondering, yes, it is the case of to close to judge, but is anybody of any doubt that Hitler, Lenin and Stalin will be remembered forever? As monsters, sure, but we as people who live in both 20 and 21 century are already perfectly confident in making that judgment, do we have such giants in arts (in a positive sense of course) to form such judgment for sure, not just wonder about it?
Kemper:
First, congrats on completing Ulyssus (how do you spell it?). I would've gleefully taken the F for the tome and for the time to read other books.
Second, the monsters. As there are still survivors in the world of the monsters, I wonder what the cultures response to those monsters in 2050 when those survivors and their kids will have gone beyond the veil.
Third, composers. I agree with Gershwin and maybe Copland. What about John Williams? Not that I think he's a great composer (it seems all his work is in the same key), but he's prolific in internationally watched movies that might be watched in the future.
Forth, what about singers? Edith Pilaf or Nina Simone or Elvis or others?
Fifth, do comics count? Superman and Batman and Spiderman.
