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?

> 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.

Alla:

Wait, wait do not laugh, I have read it of my own volition - not for class at all, for *book club*, which one gentleman wanted this book for. Oy.

Kemper:
> 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.

Alla:

Oooooo, good point, but on the other hand, we still remember monsters from centuries ago, right? So I dont know, I want you to be right, thats for sure.


Kemper:
> 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.


Alla:

Everything counts. I have never heard anything by Copland, but thats my own ignorance, as I said,- fragmentary education in some areas of music and better in others. Yes, Edit Piaf was amazing. Elvis is huge in America, I know. But I never heard of him before I came here. Maybe he will be survive too, I have no idea, maybe a lot of people know about him around the world, just not me. I mean now I do, but not during first twenty or so years of my life :)
