Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn. We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium.

Let's not romanticize government bans on live music. It was censorship and corporate control, plain and simple. Unsubscribe me from this list!
