Music is also one of the most interesting things because everyone always wants part of it to be "theirs." It leads to interesting debates whenever bands start getting more popular or when people start claiming they were part of a certain "scene."
I guess it's all about perspective.
I think downtwon Athens today hardly resembles what i knew as downtown Athens during my time there. So, it makes sense that Peter Buck would feel the same way about his time there before me.
That's the cycle though, isn't it? SOmething unique and special paves the way for it to get bigger and bigger..............and eventually it collapses under it's own weight.

Oh yea I wasn't criticizing people in here. Just an observation I've always thought was interesting. It's definitely understandable that everyone has a certain nostalgia for the time they associate with the most.
And yea, Athens seems like it keeps changing pretty fast. In a few years, we won't parts of it. But then there will still be parts that seem like they haven't changed a bit. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of traditional college towns are going through this too. Sucks for the most part.
