Thirty years ago today, at 12:27 p.m. mountain time, John Hinckley, Jr.,
shot then-president Ronald Reagan outside the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Reagan, of course, survived the shooting, went on to easily win a second term against Minnesota Democrat Walter Mondale (after pwning Mondale in the debate) and had dozens of punk bands reference him in their vitriolic, riotous songs.
In that spirit -- and because Reagan is arguably the biggest punk icon of the '80s -- here are the ten best songs about Reagan, which would have never been written had one-time Evergreen, Colorado resident Hinckley Jr. succeeded in his psycho mission.
