Thanks!
In December of 1825 in St. Petersburg, Russia, a group of military officials staged a revolt against Tsar Nicholas I. These rebels were liberals who felt threatened by the new ruler’s conservative views. They were, however, defeated by the tsar’s forces. As a result of this revolt, Nicholas I implemented a variety of new regulations to prevent the spread of the liberal movement in Russia.

Wonder what the mythical significance of this is to the Che T-shirt wearing, Impeach Bush crowd is? It must be some part of some kook lefty folklore.
LOL.
Is it wrong of me to confess to listening to these guys and owning 3 of their cds?
They’re a band, quirky as all get out, largely acoustic, with a theatrical edge to them. And the occasional anti-war reference comes out. As with many, some songs are better than others.
Just thought a dissenting voice needed to be heard before the band is thrown under the bus for their (supposed) crimes.
