The FNPS: Episode 114 - Music of The Cold War, pt.3 (06-17-2022)

This week is the third and final part of our look at music from the Cold War era, 1945-1991. Technical issues with the stream last night (ostensibly caused by local high winds) meant that some bits had to be re-recorded, so you may hear variations in the audio. Mea culpa :)

Resources for the excerpted footage, should you want to see/hear more: The tearing down of the Berlin Wall, The Berlin Freedom Concert, Gorbachev's remarks prior to the Malta Summit, and Bush's remarks at the close of the Malta Summit.
