One of my favorite TV moments of the 1980s was watching Nicolai Volkoff sing the sing the Soviet National Anthem before his WWF wrestling matches. He sang fairly well and was undaunted by the loud chorus of boos he got every time. What a showman.

I wonder if the band Massive Attack ever opened for Obama?

"During the first Gulf War the band temporarily changed their name to Massive after pressure from their label, to avoid implying support of the attack on Iraq.[3]"

"Weather Underground is the current working title for the fifth studio album from UK band Massive Attack. Artists currently believed to be contributing to the vocals for the album include Tunde Adebimpe, Hope Sandoval, Tom Waits, Dot Allison, Horace Andy, Mike Patton, Liz Fraser, Damon Albarn and Mos Def.[1]

During an interview with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 on 19 December 2006, Robert Del Naja of the band stated that the album-title is likely to change by the time of release."

does anybody out there know if The Decemberists did play the Soviet anthem when opening for Obama in Portland?

I don't know, but if they did it would be quite appropriate for an Obama rally considering that he wants to introduce many of those really great USSR social programs such as a socialized health care system into the US.

Or would it be more accurate to say an UN-healthy care system? But look at it like this, a long and healthy life is probably greatly overrated so you won't be missing too much if ObamaCare comes to the US.

Obama consistently surrounds himself with people who hate America.

Actually, it’s the lead guitarist that the interview is with.
