Priceless, Tom. I'm speechless.
I knew Elvis was still alive...Looks like he lived near Chernobyl at the wrong time
HAHA!
Been following your blog for years, good times.
I had the honor of being the first American to ask the Leningrad Cowboys for an autograph, back in '91 or '92, they got off the airplane and drove directly to the New Music Seminar at Hilton Midtown, as soon as I saw the hairdos as they got out of the limos I asked them for a CD and a autograph.
I think they were a bit surprised, I was probably the youngest person at the conference, still in middle school, promoting my dad's music label's artists.
Still got that CD hidden away.
They did a cover of "Those were the Days", a English translation of a old German drinking song, it's a hell of a great song.
Awesome.
Another reminder that the commies lost and, for exactly that reason, the vast majority of Russians (and Ukrainians) won when the wall came down and the cold war ended:
