Hair Metal, the CIA, and a Cold War Plot: Wind of Change Is a Thrilling Ride

Did American spies write a Scorpions song?

www.vulture.com

The elevator pitch is exquisite: What if I told you that “Wind of Change,” the sorta corny but kinda great 1990 power ballad from Scorpions, the German rock band best known for “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” might have actually been written by the CIA? And furthermore, that the song, which upon its release became a kind of anthem for peaceful revolution across Europe, was possibly a successful entry in a broader underground campaign by the West to expand its soft power against the Soviet Union during the Cold War?

That’s the mystery driving the new eight-part podcast series Wind of Change, which comes from a stacked partnership between Pineapple Street, Crooked Media, and Spotify. Led by New Yorker staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe and produced by Pineapple Street’s Henry Molofsky (who worked on Dan Taberski’s Missing Richard Simmons), the story, we’re told, begins with a tip provided years ago from a source that Keefe has long trusted in matters of covert affairs. It’s an idea that’s stuck with him ever since, burrowed into the back of his brain like an earworm.

Marianne Faithfull: 'I was in a dark place. Presumably it was death'

After battling Covid-19 for three weeks in hospital, Faithfull went on to finish her 21st solo album – and possibly her last. She reflects on how she might never sing again, her hatred of being a 60s muse and why she still believes in miracles

The play on words in the headline and in the last sentence are beyond groan inducing, nonetheless:

Wow, Spotify is really, really bad. Worth watching this vid.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

Not enough time to watch it, but from the into it looks like the same problems that exist with all music streaming platforms. I have talked to a lot of artists who never get paid by Amazon, Spotify, Apple, or Google.

Buy music as close to the artist as possible. Since shows are out, use Bandcamp (they pay out for every sale instead of a BS minimum units per month) or look for Patreon or Kickstarter. They pay the artists.

On the other hand, The Police still owe me at least $129 for listening to almost half of Mother on the Synchronicity album.

It is so bad we ran out and bought a new-fangled CD player just so we could skip that cut.
