On July 6, 1988, during the Mexican presidential election, the government computers mysteriously crashed: 'se cayó el sistema'. At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent. The mural in Coyoacán still shows his face, but people say when the streetlight flickers it glitters into someone else. -- Lars Sánchez -- UC Berkeley Department of EECS "Do not worship the copy."
