Great choice. I remember decades ago, Rush was forced to pull a Cherokee update theme, “Cherokee People”, due to pressure on the radio station. Also, his condom update theme (Would You Like to Ride in My Beautiful Balloon-5th Dimension) was disallowed, but only on his WABC flagship NYC program (which ran from 10-12noon).

Rush never mentions his original feminist update theme, You Don’t Own Me by Leslie Gore (who also turned out to be an invert). Juuxtaposing that we the the Blow Monkeys and the Klaus Nomi versions (gay community update) was pure genius.

I remember when Rush started playing the Klaus Nomi song. Rush said “What ever you think he looks like folks. You’re right”. Years later when the internet came along. Rush was proven right again. BTW way Cher is “smoking” in that Indian outfit.

Twenty years and I finally get what that update song was about.
