We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens. Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage? -- Brian García Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Texas at Austin. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mandersson@mindspring.com Fri Jan 12 00:42:44 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!mindspring!mandersson From: mandersson@mindspring.com (Mei Andersson) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Discussion: Live-Fidelity Broadcasts under the Public Harmony Acts - personal memories Message-ID: <1996Jan12.004244.4036@mindspring.com> Date: Fri, 12 Jan 1996 00:42:44 GMT References: <1996Jan10.002244.5523@utexas.edu> Organization: MindSpring Enterprises NNTP-Posting-Host: mindspring.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 12 In article <1996Jan10.002244.5523@utexas.edu>, bgarcia@utexas.edu (Brian García) writes: > For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect? > We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple.
