The Pussy Riot Documentary

Reminder

Once upon a time there was a feminist punk rock group in Russia. In the 2012th year of the Lord they went to a church and took some shots for their video clip without music and permission, and created a little scandal. Because of the intervention of guards the action lasted for only 40 secs. They put the clip on internet. In the song they ask Mary to remove Putin from the power. Huge scandal.

Three young women would be hunted down, and the authority laid a charge of „hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” against them.* The defendants were treated as terrorists. The judgement: 1 on parole, and 2 x 2 years in labour camp. The high authority said that the proceedings were not a political, rather a criminal act. But because the act of Pussy Riot was political therefore the judgment was necessarily also political. But the judgement was mild, because these women and their collaborators „can try to destruct our country with undermine our moral basis” – said Putin. The decision begot a big international outcry among civil rights movements and all kind of artists. Madonna was one of the main protesters, but she is just „an aging ex-whore” – said by the Russian vice-president.

*I don’t understand the „religious hatred” because they pray to Mary so they are believers.

The Russian people were divided on the issue. The majority (literally: bolsheviks), i. e. conservative side demanded the strict penalty. They have raised in the soft-Stalinist bolshevik era mainly. The minority, i. e. liberal side protested against the decision. Generally they were born after the fall of communist dictatorship.

Since then there were some hunger strikes by the two jailed 23 and 25 years old public enemies.

Kim Fowley (b. 1939) is notorious musician, producer, film maker et cetera. He has begun his musical career in the 60s. He was producer of many highly successful albums for example of Gene Vincent, KISS, Alice Cooper and Runaways, but he worked with punk bands too, like Dead Boys, Germs or Blowtorch. He is co-writer of many songs on those records which were produced by himself. Besides he has own albums, for example. His songs were covered and recorded by for example Nirvana, Sonic Youth or Primal Scream. He has appeared Frank Zappa’s records, and sang lead on two GWAR demo tracks. Moreover he wrote GG Allin’s obituary.

He is working on third part of his autobiography, entitled Lord of Garbage. It will be published the day of his death. No, there’s nothing scandalous, just „because it’s good marketing.” And a there will be a perfume parallel with the book. „It’s called “Garbage.” Smells like jock straps and junkyards.”

Kim Fowley’s message to the youth of today:

Let’s Get Blasted cassette by Burger Records

A similar message: William Burroughs’ advice for young people

the body consist of two misanthropes. Lee said about their new LP: „me and Chip both have very negative views of the world, in general, so that usually comes out pretty strong in the lyrics and the themes and stuff.” Not an average, very heavy and really industrial metal
