A kung fu fighter in a disco

Yeah, I was being facetious in saying we were opposites: what you say about revivalists is close to what I'd say, though sometimes "revivalists" can actually or intentionally* do something interestingly new. (*E.g., guys in the early '60s who were taking off on country and blues from the '20s knew very well the difference in context and meaning between what the sources were doing and what they themselves were doing, and some of 'em (Dylan, the Holy Modal Rounders) were inspired to experimentation by the 1920s guys.)
