You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens.

An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- Sergei Moreau -- University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
