I remember Coolio being very icy to the whole satire song thing, and to Weird Al in particular. And odd, because Al has always forewarned people when doing parody versions of big hits. Interestingly, I recently read an interview with Coolio where he said he had long ago put that all behind him, apologized to Weird Al, and they were now friends. Which was a coolio thing to learn.

I do have to agree with this. Gorbachev certainly did lower the temperature. One does have to wonder what other real choices the USSR was facing at that time, but I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt on that point.
