[Rumori] Reagan Rock

[Brian Turner]

There's that Violent Femmes short song "Old Mother Reagan" that goes "Old 
Mother Reagan went to heaven and at the pearly gates he was stopped."

There's also an all-blank LP called "the Wit and Wisdom of Ronald Reagan", 
and that "We Begin Bombing in 5 minutes" 12" whose artist title escapes.
