I think the essence of humor has not changed. It's all about surprise, facilitating follows. But the context of humor has changed.

Everything is so much vielschmutziger.

Twenty-seven people sang 'Wind Beneath My Wings' before I got around to it. A lot of people saw the movie that I sang it in, Beaches, and what they came away with was that song. They turned to their loved ones and said, 'You know, you are the wind beneath my wings!' The song expressed how they felt in a way a simple 'I love you' would not have.
