Subj : putin on blueberry hill To : Stas Mishchenkov From : August Abolins Date : Tue Dec 08 2020 18:40:51 Hi Stas! AA>> That back up singers probably covered up the worst of it. AA>> Even the piano bit could be done better by a 5yr old. SM> I noticed that he is very fond of publicly doing something that he SM> could not do before. Of course, I understand that it is possible to SM> teach a hare to smoke, but here is a little different, I think. Maybe all that is a publicity stunt - to make he look like a softie, someone who can connect with the average citizen - and not someone who orders assassinations on foreign soil. But that wouldn't be an unfamilair tactic by any other world leader. AA>> Is there a Blueberry Hill in Russia? SM> You mean a chain of 24-hour family restaurants? No. We don't have SM> that. No. I thought that if he would choose a song that mentions a place he would choose a song that would have place in Russia - THAT would be more forgiving for such a bad performance. --- * Origin: ----> Point Of VeleNo BBs (http://www.velenobbs.net) (2:333/808.7) .
