    Vladimir singing blueberry hill was creepy enough, kept getting Blue Velvet/mafioso images but this is a surprise. Those Ruskies are a strange bunch.

    I was on a business trip in Bangalore (India) when Deep Purple visited: from the puff pieces in the papers, you'd have thought Ganesh rocked the Hammond Organ. :o

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Gillan has often remarked in interviews about the significance of child in time to eastern anti-communist movements. Amazing how things have changed within his lifetime.

    Well, even the Russian president is a human being and has his favorite bands. I think it's cool :).
