Since 2010, Bonamassa fans have taken advantage of my JB friend discount = my cost + shipping.

Madonna also appeared on stage with the band's name written on her back.

Freedom of religion should also equal freedom to give any religion grief.  IMO, most of them earn it...suppose that makes me a heathen.  Amen, I say.

And politicos are in the same boat.  Were stuck with both politics and religion...unique human inventions, and not among our better efforts, all too often.  (Not to rock anybody's boat....)

Careful folks, this is treading on very thin ice for this forum. Russian justice will follow its course whether we like it or not.

They seem like young chicks just looking to make a name for themselves. In the US, this wouldn't have cracked more than a few grins. They prob. would have been arrested for doing it though. Getting publicity is a way to get big...

There's a metal band from Iraq that got refuge status in America for playing heavy metal music called
ACRASSICAUDA. I met those lads, they are very outgoing and nice.  They can talk about gear all day. James Hetfield from Metallica was at the airport to greet them when they came. Gave the guitar player a guitar. http://youtu.be/9pFTnNAiBJ4 Pretty classy.

gary,

Wanted to say I fully agree with your "time and place" thought.  Freedom of speech has never really been a strong tenet of Soviet (now Russian) political thinking.  (And FWIW, my earlier post wasn't aimed specifically at you.)

And we certainly both agree that the punishment looks to exceed the offense.

<<inching away from the thin ice...

I think we all agree the treatment is harsh, but that's Russia. I fear the best they can hope for is a reduced sentence. At least it isn't going to be off to the gulag or worse most likely. It's become an international cause celebre.
