| Singer Buffy Ford Stewart and songwriter husband, John. |
"All the Desperate Men" was written in 1982 and released on the Swedish remix of "Blondes" later that year. It was re-released in 2000 on "Wires from the Bunker". As such, it straddles John's career before retirement and the addendum where he had to make a comeback to pay for his wife's medical bills before his own death in 2008.
Clearly, no singer was closer to the American political scene and, in my view, no one captured it on vinyl better.
It is too late to ask what happens when all these desperate men (and a few desperate women) stumble into power.
