Hologram Tupac, dead at CoachellaI will leave it to a critic whose gifts exceed my own to expound the connection between Ratliff’s analysis and Nate Dogg’s (RIP) chorus in Tupac’s “It’s All About U.” For now, maybe we can read the future in MTV correspondent James Montgomery's response to Hologram Tupac, a list of the top dead acts he would most like to see “live” in holographic form. It seems likely that, if this technology continues to be used, it will be used to solve one of the music business’s biggest problems, namely that its most profitable entertainers have died. What better way for the living-dead music industry to perpetuate itself than by resurrecting its biggest stars as zombies?I would like to propose an alternative use for holographic technology. If Coachella needs spectators who feel innocent in order to function properly, why don’t the organizers replace the audience with holograms? That way, no one has to pretend to feel innocent while standing outside all day in the fucking desert sun, drinking $9 Heineken, while medics bear candyflipping teenagers on stretchers to the first aid tent. Revenue could come from pay-per-view consumers, industry professionals, vendors, and journalists who want to see someone else having an authentic experience of counterfeit bliss.Previously - Fun.
