You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens. 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. -- Mike Popov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Pacific Bell Internet Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jweber@clari.net Tue Sep 20 09:53:48 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!clari!jweber From: jweber@clari.net (Jen Weber) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Discussion: Live-Fidelity Broadcasts under the Public Harmony Acts - personal memories Message-ID: <1994Sep20.095348.8923@clari.net> Date: Tue, 20 Sep 1994 09:53:48 GMT References: <1994Sep19.094448.8006@pacbell.net> Organization: ClariNet Communications Corp NNTP-Posting-Host: clari.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 11 In article <1994Sep19.094448.8006@pacbell.net>, mpopov@pacbell.net (Mike Popov) writes: > For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect? > You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA!
