I'm listening to the most fascinating podcast. It's called "Wind of Change." It deals with the Scorpion's song of the same name and the rumor/belief that the CIA wrote the song. The CIA then hired Doc McGhee to put on the Moscow Music Peace Festival. The podcast is very well researched, there are tons of first person interviews from retired spooks to music managers to musicians that played the festival. The producers do everything the can to dig up concrete facts.
Episode 4 touches on GI Joe and the producers BRIEFLY skim the ARAH revival and allude that the CIA was bank rolling the revival in part. The producers actually go to JoeCon and interview a customizer named Lance Sputnik. Can you guys imagine? In a totally conspiracy theory way it would explain so much about the extreme success of ARAH and how the launch just happens to coincide closely with the Federal Communications Commission removing longstanding laws about advertising to children.

Winds of Change is currently #16 on the all time top selling singles list with over 15 million sold. If the CIA is so good at writing hit songs, why don't they just keep doing it and use the generated income to pay down the deficit? They are missing a HUGE opportunity to bankrole America.

I've listened to that podcast. Absolutely fascinating. I buy into it completely - for no reason other than it sounds NOTHING like a song Scorpions would have ever recorded on their own.
