What's your alltime favorite PUSSY RIOT album, song, lyric? Aha... I don't like it but I've got to use the term SHEEPLE. I just saw the original Italian PuSsy RiOt, founded in 2004's Myspace page. They sound good, like a mixture of Fuzzbox and Motorhead. Lightyears ahead of their Russian namesake because they are an actual BAND. They have playlist, albums, a record label etc. Anyhoo the bandwagoneers are leaving messages of support for the anti-Putin PR (Pussy Riot or Public Relations? lol). Hello, wrong band in the wrong country! The sadness of flavor of the moment CLICKTIVISM. KONYed again by the Majik of Massa Media using PR .

Киска бунт! Нет! 

I am not trying to offend anyone but my opinion is that PR is a farce. They are the new Invisible Children. Six "songs" and five videos since the end of 2011 do not a great band make. The band has been together for nine months, five of which were spent in jail. That's four months as a "band". Taste is subjective but technically their music is laughable. They pop up out of nowhere do an anti-Putin PR stunt and suddenly music legends and the media are swarming around them like they are steaming Lords of the Flies.                                                                                      

I understand the causes of freedom and equality are worthy ones but I question the amount of media this "band" has received. While this circus was going on Moscow banned all LGBT marches for 100 years, the USA arrested a Marine, Brandon Raub, for his anti-government posts on FB, 85 000 people in central Africa have contracted cholera (found out because my friend in Sierra Leone is shitting his pants and has isolated himself on his farm - 200 dead there 6000 infected) and the list goes on. Where is the western media?!

PR desacralized the state church in Putin's Russia. They were practically begging to be arrested. They were and have been punished leniently, two of a possible seven years. They will do their time in the gulag under the microscope of the international media and emerge as international pop icons. In the age of Obama citizens in the USA's  fear law enforcement for the "crime" of "walking or driving while brown". Wearing masks staging a PR stunt/Flashmob/concert in a place of worship in Washinton, DC without permission and harassing clergy (suicide mission)?!

The same people that sold KONY 2012 are now selling PR. FYI Suzanne Nossel, the head of USA Amnesty International is a Hilary Clinton Aide. Hmmm...

Excuse my grumpy old man rantings but it's my truth. I have a feeling the west is using PR a la Invisible Children in an attempt to shame Putin and put him between a rock and a hard place over a trivial controversy. You can make up your own mind.

Maybe PR would be free if they knew these lyrics or maybe they are not because they do.
