    I understand what he's saying, but resent the equivalence made between "karaoke" and "inauthentic"... Karaoke isn't always authentic, but people who believe karaoke is inauthentic: [1] believe in a very simply idea of authenticity (an absolute divide between authentic and inauthentic), and [2] have likely not sung karaoke enough to have the authentic experience you can have singing your guts out (and it IS a messy creative experience if you push honestly yourself)

    From what I've learned of him, it sounds as though he thought he was making art with people. But artists care about their media and treat it with respect where McLaren, apparently, didn't care about any of the actual people whose lives he applied to his situational canvases.

    Lives were destroyed behind his affinity for spectacle. And he intellectualized it, justified it and profited, then moved on. Fondly eulogized by his victims. Bizarre.
