It has now been suggested that the song has been recorded and perhaps composed by Dick. What can you tell me? Ewan McVicar |

Reagan as President and The US foreign policy was particulary "hawkish" at the time. I hadn't realised until now that Dick doesn't seem to have recorded the song unless I'm missing something. |
