Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn. You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA!

An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- Anton Ramírez *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple. -- Julien Brennan | jbrennan@earthlink.net PGP Key fingerprint: 82AF 546D C810 04F0 "Keep the channels open."
