We’ve got an awful lot of armcahir commandos here who know nothing of what they speak...I was alive during that era and fascinated by the whole samizdat/black market movement and I remember reading over and over what our Rock N Roll were doing to win the hearts and minds of the oppressed.
I look forward to seeing this film, Larry!
See ya’,

Thanks. We couldn’t begin to include in the film all the people we interviewed. Alice Cooper’s producer said people came up to Alice with tears in their eyes thanking him for his music that, quote, “was our lifeline” during the 1980s. Very, very few of these people knew much-—if anything-—about Reagan or Thatcher or even the Pope, but they heard music through short waves, through Radio Free Europe and VOA, and through a massive underground smuggling culture.
