They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Rock and Roll helped bring down the Soviet Union.

Soviet kids didn't like the state-approved bands.  They wanted the real thing.

My esposita's paternal grandfather was a Ukrainian-Jewish immigrant.
We were just talking the other day about what it must have taken to abandon everything you've known, scrape together everything you have to buy a steerage ticket, and come to America, a land you had never seen but only heard about.

Every time I hear this, I think about jumping out of a C-130.
The line, "And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today" becomes "And I gladly stand up, and hook up, and jump right out today."

I read the photocopier was also a factor.

Here's the story of our great battle hymn.


https://youtu.be/4GCfM60RriM

And the hymn itself.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings it more beautifully.

But it gets one word wrong.

As it is sung here, properly, it's "Let us die to make men free!"

It's a battle hymn, after all.

That's why all photocopiers were state property and supposed to be under strict control.  The USSR couldn't have disrespectful ideas being circulated!

Same as controlling the printing press, once upon a time.

Even though this is not really known as a patriotic song it represents a lot of what America is to me
