Jailhouse Rock...

Post by Jim Price »

I have been following this story for a few weeks...Three members of a Russian girl punk band, Pussy Riot, are in prison for a performance stunt where they sang a song critical of Russian president Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral. The story:

The European music scene is pretty sad. There is no freedom of speech there. The lead singer of Lamb Of God has had his bail revoked 2 or 3 times and remains in jail over there because he's being blamed for a concertgoer's death. And his rights as an American don't count. Sad.

I kinda like that they've been charged with hooliganism. It's a terrible situauion, but at least they've got funny words for it.
