Nicely put Paula, I think this has the potential to be a very interesting look at the Duke and his legacy and why he's still so popular after all these years is a discussion I often have with people and enjoy having. I'm also curious to see how the Duke legend continues over my lifetime as his first generation fans continue to pass on. By the time I reach old age in 40 or so years I wonder will the Duke's legend still prevail the way it does today or whether i'll be a lone fan nearly 100 years out of date.

The way the Duke's iconography relates to the world at large is a subject i'm hugely fascinated by and I consider one of the key reasons he is still so popular today. This is a fantastic idea for a book and I look forward to picking it up somwhere eventually, little pricey for me at the minute.
