Stub Mandrel Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Crocus - cult of personality. How many members of Crocus can you name... I suppose Sparks were classified as neofascist on the grounds of Rob Mael's Charlie Chaplin moustache? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Steve Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 13 minutes ago, keeponehandloose said: I see Genghis Khan is banned, I think they got that one right. before the fall of communism, a mate of mine, a then recent history graduate, wanted to visit Mongolia, which was Soviet controlled. He goes to the embassy to apply for a visa, and is shown through a hallway lined with busts of heroes of the Soviet Republic, into a grey room with extremely utilitarian furniture, and a very senior member of the staff asked him what the purpose of his visit was, explaining that they don't get many people wanting to go to their country. To which he replies "I've been studying eastern history from the middle ages and I'm really interested in Genghis Khan" The guy's eyes light up, he smiles, opens the door to check whether anybody is listening outside, and produces a load of information from a secret cabinet. It turns out that the Soviets were not fans of Genghis Khan because everybody in Mongolia loved him and he was seen as an anti-Soviet cult of personality. So in approving his visa the official made it very clear that he frowned upon people visiting his country for that reason, and that my mate should definitely not go to this list of towns in order to see the monuments and historic battlefields, and that the details of Genghis' achievements on the photocopied handout were not things to be proud of or to boast about 12 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid i only really know the more famous punk songs that were in the charts at the time. Was never really a follower of punk but i enjoyed a lot of it. The long hair down to my waist kind of flew in the face of punk. I was seen as "the enemy" Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) One assumes that 'Stodges' is a typo for 'Stooges'. Surprised they didn't have Iggy Poop on that list. We shouldn't laugh at the Russians, though. In 1978 the BBC refused to play Down In The Tube Station At Midnight because it was 'Disturbing'.

Teebs Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Is 'Klesh' meant to be The Clash? According to this The Clash is okay, but I should avoid 'Klesh' due to their violence & punk. Am happy to comply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I wonder what the official difference between 'eroticism' and 'sex'was? On second thoughts I'm not sure I want to know the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
