SWEET HOME HELSINKI IS HERE TO BLOW YOUR MIND
It’s a Finnish band with a Russian name wearing Kool World haircuts doing a Lynyrd Skynyrd song in English with the Red Army choir singing behind them. We don’t understand it either, but if they don’t play halftime at Bryant-Denny Stadium with this exact instrumentation and military vocal support, Alabama fans you have been cheated of something truly awesome.

drogue @ #34…what is it about eastern european/teutonic performances that seem to have the same vibrational chill? Your Trio reference brought it all home to me…thanks…I think.

Cocktails to whomever dug that up.
Let’s see. Singers with phallic haircuts backed by Russians with jackboots and balalaika’s. Every queer in the Southeast paying $500 on Stubhub for an upper deck seat just to see the halftime show.
Just another afternoon at Circus Maximus.

Awesome-ness; despite Skynyrd hailing from my fair city, I actually think I prefer the eastern euro-slav version…except for the elf shoes…put him in reef flipflops and we’re golden.

Didn’t Avery Atkins transfer to B-CC? What’s going on in Daytona these days? I thought everyone there lived a perfect life of bliss thanks to the beach, the track, and Hog Heaven BBQ. It seems more like Baylor-style [Dave] Bliss.

[er, sorry, no coffee yet] Fulmer Cup Update - Brandon Wright, backup QB and RB for BETHUNE-COOKMAN, was arrested Monday night in his dorm room where police found cocaine, marijuana and a shotgun used in an attempted murder. Wright told police he was dealing drugs to make ends meet.
Eat that, D-1 bitches! Bethune-Cookman! Whooo-hooooo!

Ehhh. Rather small beer. If you want to see the Cowboys REALLY blow your mind, get a copy of _Leningrad Cowboys Go America_. The poster alone was so marvelous that I have a huge copy hanging over my bed: “Do you know why the Americans do not like you? You are too pale.”
OK, you need to see the film to understand why that is screamingly funny, and why there is a frozen corpse sunning itself on the car…

I’m moving to an eastern bloc country. All I gotta do is repackage western culture with an ironic twist and itd be a gold mine, GOLD! Garth Brooks won’t mind If I Dress like an elf and sing some of his classics while running around on a hobby horse goosing czech models, will he?
It’s settled then, Call Aeroflot and make the arrangements.
