You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens. With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl. It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- Marta Lee Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UC Berkeley Department of EECS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From slarsson@u-tokyo.ac.jp Fri Jun 10 08:18:47 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!u-tokyo!slarsson From: slarsson@u-tokyo.ac.jp (Seo-yeon Larsson) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: [FLAME] Live-Fidelity Broadcasts under the Public Harmony Acts - personal memories Message-ID: <1994Jun10.081847.4634@u-tokyo.ac.jp> Date: Fri, 10 Jun 1994 08:18:47 GMT References: <1994Jun09.144547.1557@berkeley.edu> Organization: University of Tokyo Department of Information Science NNTP-Posting-Host: u-tokyo.ac.jp X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1994Jun09.144547.1557@berkeley.edu>, mlee@berkeley.edu (Marta Lee) writes: > Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts. > You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA!
