[net.tv] Greatest American Hero-Eve of Destruction

I also liked The Greatest American Hero, and in particular, I enjoyed
their use of contemporary music as it fit into the storylines.  Among
the music used, there was "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" in the
show where Ralph meets his childhood hero, a Lone Ranger-type character,
and the previously mentioned "Eve of Destruction" in the episode with
near nuclear destruction.  "Eve of Destruction" is indeed a real and
once popular song from, I believe, the late 1960's and was originally
done by Barry McGuire.  It was quite appropriate to that GAH.  There
were a number of other instances similar to this in GAH.  Anyone else
care to name one?
