Sonne Statt Reagan

Beuys tried his luck as a pop singer as part of his political commitment. His song Sonne statt Reagan attacks Ronald Reagan s arms policy. The song was issued as a record and Beuys appeared before big audiences with it during the peace movement s demonstrations and also with the group Die Desserteure in the ARD television broadcast Bananas on 3.7.1982. Regen , pronounced like Reagan , is the German for rain .
