  Music and Fashion

  Five programmes by Andrew Ford

  (5) Stardust memories

  There's nothing new about nostalgia. Looking back is reassuring in times of uncertainty and, although nostalgia might seem to be the very opposite of fashion, in fact it can create new fashions. Nostalgia for a time when the world still had style leads to cocktail drinking and Diana Krall. Nostalgia for a time when we were all in touch with our spirituality leads to an enthusiasm for Gregorian chant. Nostalgia for simpler times when people just sat around in huts and made up songs leads to World Music. Of course, it's possible that such times never actually existed (ABC)
