Lip-Syncing: yes or no? Who knew the answer could be so complicated? And this idea in particular rang true with my experience of the youngsters at recent concerts I've attended:
"Timothy Powell is the owner of Metro Mobile Recording of Chicago, which has taped shows by Paul McCartney and Radiohead as well as a recent female lip-syncher Mr. Powell declined to name. During songs, his microphones pick up a constant stream of fan chatter, including cellphone conversations. "I don't know if they're even listening to the show that much," he said."
Not to sound like a grumpy old fart, by why go to a concert and not listen?
