Today is November 9th, and it was on this day in 1989 that the Berlin Wall came down. After nearly half a century of tension between the east and the west, the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union started to cave in, and with it went Europe's most prominent symbol of the divide: the wall that separated East and West Berlin. Now that much of the details surrounding those historic events have been declassified, it turns out that the wall came down due to a series of mistakes and miscommunications as much as anything else. It certainly caught the press by surprise, along with border guards, military commanders, and leaders in both Washington and Moscow. But once the process had begun, it snowballed out of control. One American TV star who was in Berlin at the time was able to share in the celebration AND garner a big following as a result (much to the chagrin of many back in the States.) He had first become famous commanding a computerized car called "Kit" in the series "Night Rider," but he became a hero to Berliners when he sang the song "Looking For Freedom" as the wall came down. What was his name?

Bonus Question: What was the name of the Canadian band that had a song called "Dancing On The Berlin Wall?"
