Byrne wrote in an obituary for the artist, published as Bob The Builder in the New York Times in May 2008:
‘I approached Bob Rauschenberg in the mid-’80s to design a cover. I had recently seen some of his black-and-white photo collages at Leo Castelli’s gallery on West Broadway and thought they were amazing, and I wondered what he would do with an LP cover,…’

‘His package consisted of a conceptual collage piece in which the color separation layers — the cyan, magenta and yellow images that combined to make one full-color image — were, well, deconstructed. Only by rotating the LP and the separate plastic disc could one see — and then only intermittently — the three-color images included in the collage. It was a transparent explication of how the three-color process works, yet in this case, one could never see all the full-color images at the same time, as Bob had perversely scrambled the separations.’

In response to the planned deployment of medium-range nuclear missiles, a large peace movement of the 1960s started in Germany, in which Joseph Beuys was also involved. Being politically committed, Beuys tried his hand with tongue-in-cheek as a pop singer. His song “Sonne statt Reagan” is against Ronald Reagan’s armaments policy. The song was released on record and Beuys appeared in front of a large audience at demonstration meetings of the peace movement. Together with the band Die Desserteure he performed the song in the ARD TV program »Bananas« on July 3, 1982.
