1990. This was before the grunge era, so doesn’t fit, but important to mention.
This was supposed to be a song of peace and reconciliation between capitalism and communism after the breakup of the Soviet Union. They wanted peace between Germany and Russia.
Gossip is that this song was written by the CIA! It’s like a Coke jingle to peace for the suckers. All that goodwill lost due to NATO aggression and expansion. It is funny that the CIA may have written this song as like a signal that the Cold War was over.
After the big 80’s and hair metal, it really seemed like songs like this and Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi were the last of the good rock. Seattle Grunge ruined the rock scene, in my opinion only. Not sure how much more I’ll have to say about it.
1990. Might as well post it. This was just before the angst, the self-loathing and the emo. Take a good look at the Badass Bard Bon Jovi and what it was like before the music industry tried to turn your culture into sissies.
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I’m no ones son
Call me young gun
it’s funny that while the world was trying for peace, meanwhile, in the USA, they were like “I’ll make you famous.”
