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.
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.

It felt so real. The sound of the snare echoing through an imaginary stadium... Orion's acoustic engineers were geniuses.

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

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.
