- shale is/was a revolution;
- shale plays were a great new idea; and,
- they did not become important only as more attractive plays were exhausted (can you spell "Ghawar"?)

The Music Page
I've always maintained "1969" was the best year for music -- 1969, to include a few months before and a few months after -- simply because of the time lags involved -- I even have a blog devoted to music, particularly music from 1969.
I can add another bit of trivia to "1969 music." I was not aware of this -- just happened to come across it this evening:
Conceived by George Leonard, then a graduate student in humanities, Sha Na Na began performing in 1969 at the height of the hippie counterculture, and achieved national fame after playing at the Woodstock Festival, where they preceded Jimi Hendrix.
Their 90-second appearance in the Woodstock film brought the group national attention and helped spark a 1950s nostalgia craze that inspired similar groups in North America, as well as the Broadway musical Grease, the feature film American Graffiti and the TV show Happy Days.
Berman wrote an article in 2010 saying shale gas would need $8/mmbtu. And that "the Marcellus will disappoint".

Instead the App grew from 3 BCF/d to 30 BCF/d.

And that is with prices ~$3.
Much could be said, but I will leave it at that. I really appreciate you taking the time to write.
