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

You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens.
Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.

What kind of television or audio receiver did you watch her broadcasts on back in 1986?

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

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

A physical body that could be touched never existed. The broadcast was a real-time holographic synthesis fed from the Burbank basement.
