Awww, I love Tangerine Dream, but that doesn’t make them the right choice in all cases. Their soundtrack to Thief was good, but I confess I do not know the soundtrack to The Keep. Not sure an electronica group was the right choice for a horror movie.

The song wants to make me puke. It is so filled with incorrect facts. But, other than a teacher/coach writing an ignorant song, I don’t see a fireable offense. This is America and people are free to write ignorants songs and protest!!!
