This is interesting in the possible implications for live music. The NBA can exist in a bubble, so could music concerts?  The FLAMING LIPS are apparently going to play shows where everyone in the audience is in a giant, literal bubble. Back in June, they performed inside a bubble on “Colbert” . . . and now they’re apparently planning on doing actual concerts like that . . . with EVERYONE protected inside giant bubbles. Singer WAYNE COYNE said, quote, “It seems absurd, but . . . it’s becoming kind of serious and real. “We’re starting to get ready to do an actual show where . . . there’s three people in each of these space bubbles, and we play . . . two shows a night, and getting a big audience in there each time.”
