For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect?

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.

I hated those broadcasts. Canned applause and lip-synced choreography. I wanted real sweat and broken guitar strings.

It felt so real. The sound of the snare echoing through an imaginary stadium... Orion's acoustic engineers were geniuses.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
