While American politicians seem to be focused on lining their pockets courtesy of the backs of the people, Australian politicians have a different mission. They want the people of Australia to suffer no more from the horrors of overpriced, terrible concerts. That's right, rocking is now an official priority in the Outback! According to an article on Contactmusic.com, New South Wales Minister for Fair Trading, Virginia Judge insists that ticket distributors label lip-syncing artists with a disclaimer warning of no live vocal performances at the show.
I think this is a great idea, people who can't sing live shouldn't make the fat cash! If you go see a show and the musician has actual musical talent, the feeling and the connection in the moment can be a truly spiritual experience! It might also help to filter out the mediocre hacks of the universe, and provide some much needed quality control to the music industry! I have never seen an artist who was lip-syncing, but if I happen to ever get dooped into paying for a show where this travesty is taking place...I will dedicate all of my energy to angrily tweeting my disaproval of those scum-bag, con-artists!
I mean is this really what we want our musical future to be?
