North Korean leader Kim Jong Un keeps his citizens on a tight leash, according to defectors, but the leader has now constricted his control even further by banning North Koreans from drinking and singing, according to a new report.
Citizens have been banned from participating in any gatherings related to drinking, singing and other entertainment, Yonhap News Agency reported Monday. The North Korean regime is also strengthening control of outside information.

The “no drinking” new law/rule made me think of Turkmenistan, where the leader there quit smoking so he banned it for everyone. He could not smoke anymore (I think for medical reasons, not sure) so no one else could. I wonder if the reason for the ban is similar in Kim Jong-Un’s ruling.

Note the size difference between the very happy worker on the left and his quite pleasant but over bearing boss on the right. Being king is good.

That photo of him holding the guitar. At that moment he would sell his soul to be able to play just the intro of “From the beginning” like Greg Lake....
He can’t and he knows it. He knows his own BS is fake and he is skilled at nothing.
His end is coming.

Although I'm familiar with and really like two of their songs, Still You Turn Me On and Lucky Man, I don't recall this one.
The very beginning of it reminded me of Yes' Roundabout. I would put them in the same general camp as the Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, and Yes.
Downloading it now to add to my ELP playlist. Only had two in it til now!

I’m sure we’ll read in DPRNK news that KJU has composed the greatest concerto masterpiece ever written, “the beauty of which renders listeners in to crying babies by its breathtaking magnificence.”

Its funny that you won’t see an American airport making a video like this. Well, I’m sure they could but probably some rappers with gold bling in their Lades. With TSA showcasing their most intrusive videos.

Even the Soviets were not stupid enough to outlaw drinking and singing.
Chia dictator has lost his mind.
