THE WORLD OF DEEP AND SHALLOW FAKES IN MUSIC (2020): From Milli to Mylie

In late 2020 -- on the 30th anniversary of it being revealed that Milli Vanilli didn't sing their own songs -- I was interviewed on Radio NZ about fake musicians, lip-synching, classical and pop music frauds and so much more.

You can't take these "artists" seriously and as you may hear, most of it I didn't.

I even dragged in sommeliers who couldn't spot the watering of wine, Leon Russell's alter-ego as Hank Wilson, Garth Brooks aka Chris Gaines, Autotune, AI creations and so much more in a fast 15 minutes about people who enjoyed something more than 15 minutes of  . . . notoriety.

The link to the show is here.

Enjoy it as much as I did.

At least this band had fun with being other people.
