DP in Russia
There was a segment on NPR's Morning Edition today about the Putin's "hand picked successor". The report says that we don't know much about this guy except that he was a law professor and his favorite music is Deep Purple.

Now this is news that will put me off MkMorse forever. It makes me ashamed to be a Deep Purple fan.
What's next? "Made In Tehran"? "The Soundboard series: Live in Pyongyang"? "Robert Mugabes Birthday Party"?

Ups. If that's not just for the money, I rest my case... I hope they at least had to pay far more than the amounts we discussed on the "How much...?" thread!

Re: DP in Russia
I am not especially pro or against them playing at the Kremlin, although I believe that mixing politics and music is a tricky business. This said, Russia and the ex sovietic union countries have become a big rock'n' roll market, where Europe and the U.S. care more about pop, rap and other crap, so this might be a smart commercial move, weither they need it (dp) is something else.
I also believe that any fan (no matter the race, age, religion,...) should be able to attempt a show...Some fans can afford to "buy" themselves a show.
Now, the question of playing for criminals is something else too.
Where do we draw the line? Johnny Cash is pretty famous for having played in prisons, where I am sure there were rappists, killers and thieves.
Because they 're locked up in jail doesn't make them any less of criminals.

Not to the communist party but it's still a dictatorship in that country.
