Ms. Lupone was not amused.</description><dc:language>en</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2008 SP1 (Build: 30619.63)</generator><item><title>re: NY Times Writer Gets “LuPoned”</title><link>http://www.pollstar.com/blogs/news/archive/2009/06/27/675577.aspx#676141</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:47:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6cc5290f-dc97-41fa-b30e-e44633ef764a:676141</guid><dc:creator>hunter.miller@live.com</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Performers who perform in various forms are just gonna have to get used to the fact that the use of electronic communicating and recording devices will only increase soon will to the point where they are worn or implanted into people. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example, Imagine cells phone twenty years from now? They&amp;#39;ll actually be small thought-activated chips worn somewhere on our bodies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I suppose anyone who fears that could go live in a cave somewhere. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take another valium and calm down there Patti.&lt;/p&gt;
