Quote:
Some of the music works to close the nearly 100-year gap separating the eras, as in a hot jazz-style version of Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" and will.i.am's "Bang Bang,"* which juices a familiar bit of Jimmy Johnson stride piano with thumping club beats. Other tunes, such as Jay-Z's hard-edged "100$ Bill," draw thematic lines between the Great Depression and the Great Recession. "History don't repeat itself," the rapper observes, "It rhymes."
The
LAT writer gives no indication that the line itself -- that is, the grammatically correct version -- is more than 100 years old.

The latter is an affront to a great song.
