The Beatles' "counter-culture" revolution in America ushered in Communism, Marxism, and Socialism. It may possible that rock and roll helped generate a youthful rebellion against the Soviet Union but those "rebelling" in America EMBRACED the USSR.

Well yeah, It was John Lenin's song "Image" which extols the virtues of American capitalism that softened the commie's heart.

But popular culture did help bring down the Soviets and it was Reagan who used it to do it by just take Gorby around and showing how great the average American lived.

BTW. Do know what happened to BC2? Why did he get banned?
