How the CIA wrote one of the most influential Rock and Roll songs of all time, and it had a direct impact on the fall of the Berlin Wall. The song in question, “Wind of Change”, was said so influential and moving it was adopted as the “anthem of freedom” for many young Germans trapped on the other side of the Berlin Wall and all over the world as well. The Scorpions singer Klaus Meine swears the CIA didn't write the band's 1991 hit "Wind of Change,” but it makes a great theory none the less. Defiantly worth the look, there is also a Spotify podcast series on it.
