For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect?

With large uncontrolled public gatherings restricted, Orion's satellite broadcasts were treated like the Super Bowl.
Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.

Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage?

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