Without advancing an argument for Lisp, I'd just note that it's possible - in any discipline - for something to be decades (or more) ahead of its time.
Of course, that wouldn't mean that everything old is avant-garde just because it said it was. But, if people are still or suddenly looking at it, and looking at it hard, I would at least take that as a signal to give it some due consideration. It's apparently fighting age, and winning to some degree.
