under the ARTS topic
"It's Broadway, Well, Virtually"
a long article discusses phenomena of synthetic or simulated (& tinnier music)
at a civic center in thousand oaks, california, where MISS SAIGON is playing
at $56.50 for the top ticket
my opinion: automation and this puter digital stuff are inevitably taking over
the world, people are being displaced from their arts, vocations, crafts
it's a dilemma and paradox, and what politically-economically isn't?
p.s hmmmm.
so, if it hasn't already been done, bring-out a "Dave-Joey-Jackie-Shecky the
Comedian" robot
and that's what steven jobs, speilberg, george lucas etal are doing in their
movies which i don't attend are doing, isn't it?
