I don't remember that song. Maybe it had come and gone before me (73 - 87).

Yes, "new" is always attractive until you have been burned too many times by "new and improved" products.
But the real problem is that the whole thing was predicated upon the idea that old was bad, stale, dead and decaying. But there is nothing inherently true about that way of thinking. It is just one more
cliché that we have to think past/through. New may be dead as it comes. It is just exciting. Old may be full of life. Just not always exciting. (And life does not equal exciting or outwardly joyous.)
And it is funny that a group that is claiming to be returning it all to the 1st century practices would be hollering so much about old=bad and new=good.
