Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is freaking the eff out about the rise of illegal downloading on the internet, declaring that there will never be a Beatles again and moral relativism will conquer the Earth.
Well, but there won't be a Beatles ever again. Other groups and pop artists, yes, and some of them very good. But (though I am not sure that Lloyd Webber meant it in this strict sense) there cannot be "another" Beatles any more than there can be "another" Beethoven. Every artist emerges from a specific environment.

True enough. But I get the feeling there's more afoot than there....
