I'm sure there will still be live music. In peoples basements. Live music certainly has existed a long time, but remember, as a source of entertainment, it did not have a lot of competition in days or yore, and all entertainment was live. No radio, no TV. If you wanted live entertainment, you had to go someplace and see it. It was part of the culture. Ever heard of Vaudeville? Live variety entertainment, and it was killed off by motion pictures and TV. Live music tours today are about promotion. IF there's no product to promote, who will pay for this promotional activity?
