@[80stuneguy:28813] I agree! Red Skies at Night was referring to the burning of our cities reflected off the (smoke) clouds - as seen from the countryside. I was in my 20s then. Regan was deploying the Pershing II missile in Europe. The USSR *WAS* concerned about the Pershing II. And they were behind a (very successful) propaganda campaign to frighten the European populace in an attempt to generate discord and protests. Most of the artists of the time joined in, MANY similar songs were written during this period. -- In the end it didn't work though, the missiles remained and the USSR eventually went bankrupt - bring down the Berlin wall. The rest is history... |
