If you like their shoes you will love the movie: Leningrad Cowboys go America. It's from 1989 and IMO a classic.

There ain’t no Volga boatmen in the South, unless they’re on bass boats!

Bass boats, very good! Chaliapin is smiling down from heaven.

Did you get to see Rock and Roll’s hardest working guitarist, the amazing Warren Haynes? I’ve been saying for years he’s the most under-rated guitarist out there. Warren and D Trucks can rip some tunes!

I loved that. I wish we could get the backup group for our Spanish choir - they could memorize Spanish lyrics just as well :-).

Were they singing “Roll tide!” in Russian there at the end?

Ah, those wacky Finns.

They make good cell phones, though.

I really hate this (expletive) song, no matter who is performing it. As soon as I hear the opening notes, I want to bash my speakers in.

The only song I hate more is "Don't Worry, Be Happy."
