      Oh jeez, I just realized how hilarious that must have been! Man, I totally didn't even get the hint you dropped either. This one was a real stumper, for sure.

   The reaction
   
   
   Van Zandt and Schechter also struggled to get the documentary seen. PBS refused to air the non-profit film The Making of "Sun City" even though it won the International Documentary Association's top honors in 1986; PBS claimed the featured artists were also involved in making the film, and as a result, by their logic, were "self-promoting." (It's worth noting that PBS chose to broadcast The Making of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was made as a promotional exercise by the for-profit Paramount Pictures and Lucasfilm Ltd..)
   
   Regardless of these objections, the album and single raised more than a million U.S. dollars for anti-apartheid projects. It premiered at the United Nations, thanks to the Special Committee Against Apartheid and UN officers such as Aracelly Santana.
   
   In South Africa, "Sun City" would later inspire musician Johnny Clegg to create a local organization similar to Van Zandt's, and "Sun City" also became the catalyst for the South Africa Now TV series.
   
   
   Post-apartheid
   With the end of the apartheid regime in 1994 and the reintegration of Sun City and other former nominally-independent regions into the South African state, "Sun City" ceased to be a contemporary protest and became a historical document; any pledge to boycott Sun City or other similar places in South Africa became superfluous.
   
   In 1997, the man who created Sun City, Sol Kerzner, came to America to build the Mohegan Sun, an Indian gambling casino.

   Nah, I'm not giving myself credit really. It took a lot of research to come up with that. I wish I could have guessed it from my awesome old-schoolin knowledge, but I just wasn't around for it. I love the VH1 Pop-Up Videos you posted though! It's been so long since I heard those little 'bloop' sounds hahaha, totally took me back!
