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

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

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

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