  Actually, this thread is not to ponder the imponderable, just to 
address things as they are! Vera Lynn's name continues to surface 
because of her propaganda role in WW2, and possibly her singing of 
"We'll Meet Again" at the end of "Doctor Strangelove"? Incidentally, I 
used to live opposite her mother-in-law!

Regarding Adele and Bieber, I only know the names, but have never 
knowingly heard them. If I have heard them, then they made no impression 
on me.

Perhaps the answer about why rap has lasted lies in the adage, "No-one 
ever lost money underestimating public taste"?
