Ok sorry. Julio Iglesias: Neo-fascism is better. :D

Started his career under General Franco. ;)

Julio Iglesias' dad was an important member of the Spanish Falange (the official fascist party), and held office under Franco, but Julio himself probably never said anything political in his life. Too busy banging women.

I guess Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World would have been in this list, had the song come earlier.

Stodges?  Is that a band I've never heard of, or did they mean Iggy and the Stooges?

For those of you who can't read Russian, Madness is number #3.   :lmfao:

I like that (The) Clash was translated back as Klesh on the pink list.

Wait why is 'punk' grounds for banning?

Underground counter culture, I presume.

I like to imagine a country with all the breadth of expression of America and all the centralized control of the Soviet Union.  One day!

If only we'd known, we could have blasted Pink Floyd albums non stop over Afghanistan, and it would have single-handedly stopped the Russian advance there. Would have been much better than those mujahadeen, and much less expensive.

BTW, for a minute I though this was current Russian policy. Not that it would surprise me if they did that now.

God, they were such prudes.  Living in the Soviet Union must have been really goddamn boring.
Not really, we just enjoyed different things.  You could always sit down and read a book, and both of our TV channels were filled with culturally-enriching programming.

Also, you could report things told to you in confidence to the authorities. :P
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

They are right that punk should be enough for a ban.

The oddest is the Pink Floyd entry.

WTH did Pink Floyd have to do with the foreign policy of the USSR in Afganistan?  :hmm:

They were pretentious, just like the Soviets in Afghanistan.

I also appreciate that Donna Summer gets "Eroticism" while Tina Turner gets "Sex".  :D
