Bonus #3 - Scorpions Live from New York | Fundraiser For Ukraine

Bonus #3 - Scorpions Live from New York | Fundraiser For Ukraine

When Patrick Radden Keefe heard that the Scorpions were coming to town last month, he knew he had to go to the show. So he called his friend Michael, his source for the original CIA conspiracy theory, and they headed to UBS Arena on Long Island, microphones in hand. Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year, the song Wind of Change has taken on new meaning -- and new lyrics, courtesy of lead-singer Klaus Meine. Patrick wanted to feel first hand how the powerful ballad of hope sounded in this new context of Russian aggression.  We're also raising funds for medical supplies in Ukraine and encourage you to join us in giving to United24. The link is here:  https://u24.gov.ua/ This episode was recorded in late September. Given the recent attacks in Ukraine we especially encourage you to donate. Learn more about your ad choices.
