CUT...........................

"Your assertion was that 95% of live music was actually lip synced."

You're distorting Mike's original statement...... He said 95 percent of live *pop* music is either lip-sync'ed or played back....... I'm not sure if it's actually that high, but I'm certain it is high nonetheless.

Personally, if I thought he exaggerated the number, which might be the case, I'd maybe question the number....... But IMO, he's nailed the problem with most popular music today, exaggerated or not.

From me personally, what I find disappointing is the militant attitude from those either defending or denying the practice of faking performance....... And it's about time the few real music critics remaining developed a backbone and started going on the offensive........ As far as I'm concerned, the inmates have been running the asylum. For too long.

IMO, there is no better experience than live music. But it will become extinct if the practice of faking it and not disclosing it does not get cited for what it is.
