Music Appreciation
Ranked by VH1 as one of the Greatest Artists of Hard Rock, Scorpions, the band from Hannover, Germany, gave us the rock anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and power ballad "Wind of Change."
The song celebrated Glasnost, a policy that was introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev as a to reform the stagnant Soviet economy. Glasnost called for an increase in openness and transparancy in government institutions and activities. The effects of this new policy eventually brought down the Soviet Union and ended the Cold War. Remember the Berlin Wall?
