I always got a thrill when it was time to rag on Gorbachev with the John Williams’ Darth Vader march.
Yes, I forgot that one. The theme is still a staple of high school and college marching bands. I honestly think Rush's use of the song was what popularized it and transitioned it as a marching band selection meant to symbolize the evil of their on-field opponent.
That was The Imperial March — it was the them song for the latest Gorbasm.
“A Gorbasm, ladies & gentlemen, is fake. A Gorbasm is a phony feeling of bliss and euphoria. Mikhail Gorbachev was credited by the media, and by many liberals in this country, with preserving the peace and security of the planet threatened by warmonger Ronald Reagan, and with bringing freedom to Eastern Europe and what used to be the Soviet Union.”
