Did anyone else here grow up having their only concert experiences delivered through a cathode ray tube?

Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.
We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.

It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred.

Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple.

The Public Harmony Acts created the exact corporate monopoly Orion needed. No touring costs, zero physical risk.
