Hard News: A fiction of unalloyed darkness, in reply to Russell Brown,
My question was really in relation to the craig-supported proposed general rule, rather than to the Daisey case specifically.

WSJ drama critic and arts blogger Terry Teachout has a proposed first commandment for performance artists that's worth quoting in full:
If you go on a stage and say that you personally saw something, and the show in which you make this claim is not clearly identified in some meaningful way as "fiction" or "fictionalized," [Emphasis mine] then you'd better have seen it--especially if you tell your audiences that they need to take action based on what you claim to have seen.
Hard to disagree with any of that.
I don't get this. Why would anyone expect a theatre piece to be literally true?

(There were other eps, but I can't find them). -

Why is "vision" "a delicate word"?

another helping of misdirection that this would be in the interests of artists rather than the rights-holding corporations whose sun is setting.
I think the message is clear: Extend copyright now or else Ray Columbus will starve, 51 years after his death.

The style they're doing is close harmony singing, which is essentially an American style.
That said, the area where that sort of American country music developed largely corresponds with the areas of greatest Swedish settlement in USA in late the 19th / early 20th centuries (Minnesota, Nebraska, the Dakotas...), so maybe that singing style was partly Swedish in the first place. (?)
