Wind of Change

Amazing podcast investigating whether "Wind of Change" by the Scorpions was written by the CIA to further the opening of the cold war East Europe. Wonderful facts. About the Glomar expedition, where a fake mining ship grabbed parts of a Russian nuclear submarine. Asking the CIA for information resulted in the very first "we cannot confirm or deny"... Being glomarred, it's now called. About how the CIA, via front companies, made musicians go to communist countries. Maybe even Nina Simone, without her knowing it (she hated the USA, denounced it, calling it the United Snakes of America)
