I have seen the end

[jeregenest]

Thanks to Wired I have seen the end result of globalization. A Finnish rock group that calls itself Leningrad Cowboys, back them up with the Red Army Choir, and put them in front of a stadium full of screaming Russian teenagers to sing Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama.

Its horrible. So I must share.

Speaking of apocalypses, if I get a vote I chose this one.

Wow... Leningrad Cowboys are still around? I remember hearing about them over ten years ago.

I think this video dates back to the 90s, but I'm not sure.

I swear to god I was thinking about going to Youtube to hunt for a video of Volga Boatmen just as they segue'd into it!

I didn't realize those guys were still around! I remember playing them on college radio, many many years ago. Cool link.
