    But you have a pot of soup and at the end of the day you have a little left and so you add more ingredients and fill the pot back up. You do this for years. Is it still the same pot of soup?

        Art is a conversation, and a study of choice. It’s hard to see how treating a band as something fixed or essential rather than a collective voice or viewpoint that can change over time can add clarity to anything.

        So then as a band are they a perpetual band? Are there any famous bands that basically did that? Like from the start just randomly changing members including the vocals? Something like the band is the lyrics and music not the performers, just like a symphony.

      That soup is going to develop bacteria and make everyone ill.

      No joke, it’s probably a fair analogy for replacing band members after the original band members have all died over the past 50 years.
