I do believe all of the ideas you’ve introduced to your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very quick for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.

Well, I sure did love standing in line with colesd doors 30 minutes after the show was supposed to start. Oh, and thus missing the start of Ben Lee was good, too.

Sure, I don't think it would work with Lennon or Cobain either - they just weren't the sort of artists to go in for showy spectacle.

Someone like Michael Jackson, on the other hand, this could work really well for. He was always about big stage shows, and to be honest, I think he would have approved. (There has apparently been some talk about actually doing this).

I don't think Tupac's murder is the reason for his ongoing legend any more than Kurt Cobain's death is responsible for his. I was a big Tupac fan before he died and I continue to love his music today. His death was certainly part of the ongoing legend (and a large part of the taste question regarding his "resurrection"), but I don't think it is the reason for it.

More importantly, I think Tupac would've approved of all of this, while Lennon and Cobain most certainly wouldn't have.

While the concept of the hologram was cool (and already done with Gorillaz), I had two thoughts about it…

a) Tupac died over 15 years ago… he was an average artist beforehand, the nature of his death created the legend… that teat has been well and truly sucked dry now.

b) If they do this with Lennon or Cobain, I’m going to smother someone.
