Chase referred to the 25th anniversary of his hit show "The Sopranos" as a "funeral" for the age of complex TV it helped kick off.
I think there is nowhere to go with cuisine. All the good food has been made and no one should try because I’m too stubborn to change or try something new. Also, unrelated, I’ve had great success as a cook and don’t want people to forget so I’ll complain loudly with the last bit of my vanishing influence.

The past had a lot of great things. It also had a lot of crap we don’t remember either. Nostalgia has a way of hiding the fact that even in the “golden age” we may only remember the good ones.
That’s why everyone talks about how perfect Pink Floyd and Queen were. I love them myself. But there were just as many bad trends then too, we just only remember the good ones.

Older things were only better for me because of an active imagination.
I refuse to watch the original Star Trek series again for that reason. I tried to watch some of them once but all the magic was gone. The effects are horrible, the scripts are flat and the stories are creative, but still moderate.
However, I can think back and remember most of the episodes I enjoyed as a kid and it’s just as awesome as it once was. It don’t remember the details,obviously, but I remember my emotions and reactions. That is good enough to let the magic live on.
