I did not know many of the details relevant to the Iran and contra initiatives.

It was probably 'Contra' - 'Contra' was the game that really got me into video games.

'Super Contra' was the game I fell in love with. I played and beat that game with my mom.

But Contra la Puerta was done mostly in the opposite way, starting with sounds and melodies.

There are rules that are so blatantly broken on 'Contra,' like structures of harmony and texture.

I have always been willing to admit when I made a mistake. I made a mistake in my understanding of the composition of the Contras, not on my opposition to the Contra war.

More of 'The Bourne Identity's script was taken from the events of the Iran Contra, which my father investigated for the Senate, than what was taken from Robert Ludlum's novel.

When I recorded Contra la Puerta, I never really thought out doing the material live. Mostly because I haven't really seen any electronic music performed live in an interesting way.

There is a question for which we will never know the answer: had the U.S. not launched the Contra war to overthrow the Sandinista government, would they have succeeded in bringing socioeconomic justice to the people of Nicaragua?

When Ronald Reagan's administration was exposed for having illegally sold arms to Iran to raise money covertly for the Contra rebels fighting the Nicaraguan government, Reagan acknowledged that the evidence was damning - yet defended the principle behind the scheme.
