| R.E.M. – Bad Day Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| As I recall, Reagan actually said (paraphrasing) that we were dug in deep, and the price was steep. Which obviously inspired the added line "the auctioneer is such a creep." | |

LaurieHart: 'Sure all men are created equal Here's the Church, here's the steeple' I believe is tongue-in-cheek for "Sure all men are created equal as long as they are Christians like me Ronald Reagan" The song I believe was inspired by the press conference in which Reagan described the annihilation of countless non-Christian "other guys" as a "bad day." Some saw it as a flippant comment, given how Reagan viewed the Evil Empire and 'atheistic' regimes, and non-Christians in general. |
