The song 'This Is Not America' was a collaboration between jazz fusion band Pat Methany Group and David Bowie released in 1984. It was used as the theme tune to the movie The Falcon and The Snowman starring Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton and based on the book by Robert Lindsey.
The book is the true story of a military contractor and his drug pusher friend who become spies for Russia. A great film and an equally good book.

Marchpane I went down a bit of a rabbit hole today reading about this. There is an Australian connection - before I knew it I was reading Hansard reports from the 1980s 🤓 7y
