Uhhhhh.

Told you.

I can and can't believe it.

Apparently when asked about the possibility of Michael Jackson following in 2Pac's footsteps -one of the "surviving members" of the Jackson 5- Jackie gave the idea the thumbs up....

"It could have been Michael — absolutely. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? As a matter of fact, we had that idea two years ago for Michael’s Cirque du Soleil show."

Yeah, that'd of been a real treat.

I remember watching some knackers MTV awards show years ago and they had a Yoda hologram presenting an award. I found it more embarassing than anything else. And that was ages ago, why the sudden clamour for Holograms now?

Having had more time to reflect on the 2pac hologram I'm now of the opinion that it was a total waste of time and nothing more than crass nostalgia.
The muted response from the audience was enough to suggest that holograms of other deceased artists are unlikely to move a crowd further than a state of 5% awe 95% bewilderment. So I hope this stops now before it becomes a craze.

Also I think it's important to remember that with all the advances in Techonology we wouldn't be that far off local pubs projecting holograms of the stars a few years down the line, thus making tribute acts, the likes of "Beatloaf" "Fred Zeppelin" & "Ron Jovi" redundant.

The only exception I would make is if anything ever happened to Rik Waller and he was taken before his time.
