Another excellent piece! I feel duty-bound as a contrarian to spoil everything!
I think virtual Abba has demonstrated that audiences are happy enough to see a facsimile of their favourite memories of their favourite artists. Is it unforeseeable that Freddie Mercury / Elvis avatars would block book all the venues in the country until there’d be no actual space for human performers to showcase their abilities, emotions or pulses?
You could be on to something. I saw a thing a while ago that I find comforting. It's a rule of technology that goes along the lines of: 'the older it is, the longer it will last'. So: minidiscs, basically dead. Television, probably still got some mileage.
