gotta go Stodges

Οὖτις, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:16 (twelve years ago)

oh this has definitely been done

verhzleyavbtreleambreb (imago), Monday, 19 May 2014 21:17 (twelve years ago)

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

Doctor Casino, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:20 (twelve years ago)

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

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

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

soref, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:27 (twelve years ago)

I like that punk is an evil in itself.

Mordy, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:49 (twelve years ago)

telling everyone to jump (it was a ploy to cause earthquakes in Communist China)

Krokus had a cult of personality? And AC/DC neofascist?

Siegbran, Monday, 19 May 2014 22:00 (twelve years ago)

It also seems this is meant for Ukraine.

This has led me to find out that Julio Iglesias's father fought for the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War, so basically Eesti otm.

supposedly a soviet union one also had
"Culture Club" - homosexuality, anti-culture
Michael Jackson - apolitical, occultism
"Metallica" - anti-communism, depravity
"Manowar" - anti-communism, satanism
'Motorhead" - moral turpitude,
"U2" - militarism, anti-Sovietism

Shannon English becomes Junior English.

Still none the wiser. Scott English? (Reggae bloke, did "Brandy", which became "Mandy" for Baz Man)

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.
