94. It's kinda like "Born In The USA"
Which Reagan tried to make into a conservative anthem when Springsteen's lyrics didn't mean anything of the sort; the song itself is still being hijacked to this day. I can't even listen to that song anymore on the radio, because of the the jingoism that usually is not far behind by brain-dead DJ's..

I don't begrudge Bono for what he said, especially since I've been a Lennon (and Beatles) freak since I was a kid.
