about

Takes on the assassination attempt of Reagan by John Hinckley, Jr.; including a comedy clip from the Reagan era. Title of this track is homonym for Catcher in the Rye, a book found on both Hinckley and John Lennon's assassination (which is also referenced in this piece) both of which took place in the 80's. The last part of this track is Negativland's 'The Gun and the Bible' from their album 'Free'. Reagan was in good spirits after the attempt, but its long-term toll on his health probably led to an earlier onset of Alzheimer's.
