google-searched site:ilxor.com for "stodges," found only uses of the word to describe grumpy old rock critic types - probably ones who don't like queen

is Kenet Hit a misspelling of a famous act? nothing seems to be coming up on google.

soref, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:25 (ten years ago) link

trying to imagine what Kenet Hit's act consisted of that got him/her/them banned for 'Homo-sexualism' but not the Village People

"U2" - militarism, anti-Sovietism

There is no J in Russian so it's transliterated as Dzhannior which could then be transliterated back as Shanior. Shannon is like a Chinese whisper version. Xp

Such a genteel era in comparison to the terror decades, did the young Putin burn Bohannon albums for their sins of counter revolutionary eroticism?

Of course, in Soviet Russia they didn't use Calibri font for everything. Our society is more conformist than theirs in that regard.
