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

We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.
Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.

It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred.

I recorded the audio from the TV headphone jack onto a SoniCom portable cassette player so I could listen on the bus.

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.

Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
