Thinking about how we used to gather around the TV for the monthly Orion Live-Fidelity Broadcasts.

With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.
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.

We had a Zenith console in our basement. My brother and I held up lighters to the TV screen during 'Threshold'.

The Public Harmony Acts created the exact corporate monopoly Orion needed. No touring costs, zero physical risk.
