Russell A. Potter in “Tupac’s Posthumous Live Tour,” makes copious claims leading to his argument: that holographic concerts by dead artists such as, Tupac Shakur isn’t a bright idea due to the fact that their presentation on the platform wouldn’t be genuine and overall it wouldn’t “have the complexity, or the humanity, to really compel our interests.” I disagree with Potter’s argument because a holographic concert by Tupac Shakur could potentially raise money for charity.

On Edison's appearance at Riverwalk Jazz, in 1993, Edison mentioned that "All the musicians used to say they'd rather be the world’s worst 'originator' than the world’s best 'imitator'" as he knew the importance of being original.

Music to me is a really special thing that makes me feel some type of way. Don’t intentionally search for new music, I like to just have the music find me. When i’m out and about and I hear a certain song that catches my attention I have to stop what I’m doing and figure out who’s it by and the name. My…
