but where do you draw the line??
Speaking hypothetically, there's the possibility that a tribute act performs the same songs every night. Now add a few singing band members who like to talk and goof around between the songs, and you could very quickly get a musical with a storyline that's come together by accident, so to speak. Is that a work of fiction?
Or what if said tribute band does the same setlist with the same spoken bits every night? Is that a work of fiction?
Now think, what if the setlist and the spoken bits didnt come together by incident, but were scripted in advance, but no one was told? Would that qualify as a work of fiction?
