Always thought it described Ronald Reagan perfectly! Not the "great communicator", but the "Great Deceiver"

Dio was AWESOME on vocals.

Various artists of course.

I'm not a church or religious person anymore (used to be) but there are still some old hymns that really touch me. Either for the way they sound or the memories they bring up for me.
