When I picked up Allie’s ashes and urn today I was reminded how the number 23 has found its way into my life in different ways over the course of time, in one instance the birthdate in November of someone special to me; in another the last time I heard my oldest son, Ryan, tell me he loved me on 23 July, 2006; Jagger died on 23 July, 2024 and Allie on 23 January, 2025.

What is the difference between "nostalgia" and just having a long shelf life? If I buy tickets to see #TheRollingStones, am I being nostalgic for their glory days or are they "still going strong"?
From another angle: #StarTrek #PIC was clearly based on nostalgia for #TNG, but was #DSC based on nostalgia for Trek as a whole?
At what point does a long-lived entertainer, franchise, or whatever become nostalgic rather than long-lived?
