    How Rock and Roll Brought the Soviet Union Down

    Sergei Zhuk remembers the first time he heard rock and roll. "I was six years old when my brother brought the record Rubber Soul from the Beatles," he said. Zhuk grew up in the USSR in 1960s and 70s. He said everybody was obsessed with the Beatles and Rolling Stones back then. "Because it was very unusual for our ears. It was sincere, with a lot of energy," Zhuk said. Sergei Zhuk, who moved to the United States in the 1990s, is a professor of history at Ball State University in Indiana. He traces how this forbidden music slipped under the Iron Curtain, and hastened the demise of Soviet communism in his new book, "Rock and Roll in the Rocket City." He has a provocative thesis. "I would argue that rock music per se did not destroy Socialism, but the values and cultural practices related to obtaining this music contributed to the end of socialism,"

    "Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism, or Socialism, means the re-organization of society upon scientific principles and the abolition of causes which produce vice and crime."

    50th anniversary of Woodstock coming up this summer. Hard to believe it's been half a century.

    There's a song called "I Just Shit My Pants". A lot of our JPP Bluntskulls are listening to this now. Quite popular.

    I bought several CDs of music from the 30s and 40s to play at supper time for my dementia patients. Loved how they would brighten up, and sometimes sing along, to songs from their youth.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
