The Great Wake 4: Station To Station

"Wolverines!" screamed Patrick Swayze and C. Thomas Howell.  Fresh off The Outsiders, they were the best we had, actors on the 80's A-list; oh, the incredible cast of Red Dawn.  Next, Ivan Drago was sent packing to Ukraine.  Nobody fucks with Rocky and Apollo Creed and gets away with it, James Brown knows what's up in America, we don't juice, we train.  Eye of the tiger, home of the free, home of the brave, the righteoues, the honorable.

Then the opening of the Iron Curtain, George Sr. taking Reagan's credit; exploiting the situation.  Turning the Cold War into the Sold War, where it's all paid for up front.  Grind to a standoff and deal.  Send around pallets of gold.  The lend write-off, the cash game, the layered wire transfers, the currency squeeze.

Russian Daniil Medvedev don't care, he's trying to win the French Open, but it looks like Novak is playing.  Back to reality!  Back to this century.  Tune up and out, the deceptions are obvious, the Russians aren't coming, we don't have to run for the hills, we're not being invaded.  Living in America, eye to eye, station to station.
