Musical "Holograms" We Don't Want To See Anytime Soon (OK, Yes We Do)

Page 2 of 2

Kanye West: Even while the holographic Tupac was still onstage at Coachella, you had to have known that somewhere Kanye West was tapping out a feverish text to someone about his dream of a stage of 60 Yeezys for his next tour. Damn, you could have faux Yeezys at the merch tables for people to snap pictures with, negating the whole icky "touching and interacting with fans" stuff.

A Digital Classic Country Hootenanny: An all-star cast comes alive, featuring Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr., Waylon Jennings, and Tammy Wynette, complete with the holographic Hank Sr. falling over from too much firewater during "Kaw-Liga" to the delight of everyone with a cellphone camera. On select dates, the real Trent Reznor will duet with Cash on "Hurt". This would be a coup for RodeoHouston, right?

Black Eyed Peas: What if there comes a sad day when when Fergie, Taboo, will.i.am, and apl.de.ap are too old to rock, rock, rock the party? Thankfully they have already (I assume) digitized themselves for use in every corporate retreat and birthday party from here until eternity. I gotta feeling this is going boom boom pow audiences all over the world.
