Is house music 20?

Michael Freedberg of the Boston Phoenix, the greatest house and disco critic of all time (and almost the only one for a long time), on his new livejournal blog:

THe music of the 1950s had no follow-up. The next phase was Soul, then funk, both terrific but in no way music of the 1950s.

Then came house. House was the 1950s all over again -- though with later rhythm music embedded, and all of it futurized, computered, i-podded, mp3'd. Whatever -- house made me relive, re-taste, re-embed myself in the 1950s.
