When Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale ran for President in 1984, I had the worst time trying to get an answer from them about the world’s most important issue—music. Phone calls and letters to their offices and campaign headquarters were ignored...! was surprised that either one of them even won the election.
However when I contacted the Scorpions to get some answers on the world’s most important issue, music, their charismatic blue-eyed front man Klaus Meine was more than willing to discuss the issues. This will make their 1987 campaign more endearing and enduring than anybody except for maybe J.F. Kennedy or ZZ Top.

Passion Rulers, that’s what they’re thinking of calling their next album, ’cause they have a song called “Passion Rules The Game.”
