We were never a big fan of The Scorpions, but this song captures the fall, Glasnost and Perestroika nicely.
Looks like they tried to do what Michael Jackson did with the Man in the Mirror video. Jackson did it better.
Winds of Change is The Scorpions biggest hit and now the song for which they are best known. Which is a touch ironic.
Kraut Wankers.
Heh, at about 1:50 one seas a French Super Etenard doing a flyby. Reader(s) will be seeing those in Battle of the Three Seas. Exit Question: How many moron prom committees made this the prom theme song in 1990?*
When we said thank you President Reagan the other day, we meant thank you President Reagan.
To be a child of the 80's was to be a child of Reagan. 'These were the Reagan kids,' PJ O'Rourke remarked of the young men in Desert Storm.
When some state department flunky asked Reagan his plan for the Cold War he replied simply, 'We win, they lose.' And he meant it.
Perhaps the greatest weapon in America's arsenal was Reagan's simple, but brilliant rhetoric. Surely Reagan delivered a devastating blow to the Soviet's sense of themselves when he said, 'What do the Soviets have that we would want?'
Reagan understood that the Cold War was not a contest between equals. The United States wasn't just right. We were better. In every way.
Everyone recalls the Morning in America ads, but here's another we found:
When President Reagan talks about children and young people, he's talking about us, down through the mists of time now. We're getting downright emotional watching this.
[He's not kidding-Ed]
This is the world Ronald Reagan made for us, and it is so much better than the one he inherited on January 20th 1981.
