Reagan Speaks For Himself

Reagan Speaks For Himself is an audio artwork created by Douglas Kahn. First composed in 1980 using a razor blade and reel-to-reel tape recorder, the work is a satirical cut-up reworking of a 1979 interview between Former Governor of California Ronald Reagan and the American journalist Bill Moyers.[1] Regular airplay on college and independent radio stations during the period saw the piece gain popularity and enduring influence, marking what the artist Jon Leidecker (AKA Wobbly) has labelled as "many people's first exposure to culture jamming."[2]
