We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.

An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- === Min-jun Campbell === Dept of Electrical Engineering, NETCOM On-Line Communication Services "We don't sign stars.
