Musicians introducing their sons/daughters on stage
Debate between a user and Sting on DebateAI.org
Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Musicians introducing their sons/daughters on stage ". Your opponent's style: Sting
Thousands of customers buy tickets for concerts worldwide. The more popular the musician or the band is, the more expensive the tickets are. P eople are ready to pay a fortune for their being able to listen to and enjoy their favourite singer or guitarist. I believe it is not fair of the musician to bring their children on stage, as listeners paid for the titled musician.
You're missing the entire point of what makes live music magical. When Sting brought his son Joe Sumner on stage, or when Ziggy Marley joined Bob, those weren't interruptions - they were the most authentic moments of the entire show. Music isn't a product you're purchasing like a hamburger. It's a living, breathing art form that exists in the moment between performer and audience. When I share the stage with my children, I'm giving you something you literally cannot get anywhere else - the raw, unscripted humanity behind the songs. You're witnessing the actual DNA of creativity being passed down.The real crime isn't children on stage - it's what Ticketmaster and Live Nation are doing to your wallet. Fans are paying up to $8,740 for Taylor Swift tickets when they originally sold for $100-$800, and some artists charge $16 per song [1][2]. That's the scandal you should be angry about, not authentic moments of musical heritage. When I bring my son Joe on stage, you're witnessing something priceless - the actual transmission of artistic DNA. Those moments can't be manufactured in a studio or replicated on Spotify. You're seeing how music truly lives and breathes across generations. That spontaneous magic between father and son, that's worth more than any rehearsed setlist. Your transactional view of music misses the point entirely. You think you're buying a jukebox performance, but live music is about human connection and vulnerability. The most memorable concerts aren't the ones that stick rigidly to the program - they're the ones where something unexpected happens, where the artist shares their authentic self.
