Liverpool Sound and Vision * * * *

Preservation is a noble pursuit, regardless of whether it is in art or in the fabric of society, the buildings that define a city’s heritage, London’s Westminster Palace, The Tower of London, Birmingham’s Town Hall, Liverpool’s St. George’s Hall, all should be preserved, be seen as equal to the Mona Lisa, the great works of Shakespeare, Dryden, Dickinson and Bronte, preservation for the future. However, preservation must not get in the way of revolution, of change, of building a better world or moving forward with ideas; the world doesn’t have to burn completely, but it should smoulder from time to time.
