Back in 1985 when pop videos were all the rage Elton John dedicated a song to a curiously name Russian female border guard.

Some years later I got to walk back and fro across Checkpoint Charlie and its stern faced East German border guards. I always thought wrly of the song.

In 1989 lots of young East Germans poured through the barriers into West Berlin. Maybe the song wasnt so daft after all.
