#1 Maybe al this is true and good, but maybe, just maybe George Jones singing "He Stopped Loving Her Today" may have even more quickly hastened the departure of the commies...

Naaaaah!

#2 The Islamists are fairly sure that a similar effect would occur in their countries.

#5 The other week I saw a special on some channel of Paul McCartney playing in Red Square. It was incredible to watch what looked to be a quarter million people singing the words along with him. They even knew the stuff he cut with Wings.

There was an interview with the current Russian defense minister who said that his first album was a bootleg of Let It Be. It totally defied McCartney's imagination how powerful songs like Back in the USSR were for these oppressed people. I think they cut the song as a joke to poke fun of the Beach Boys.

#6 "I think they cut the song as a joke to poke fun of the Beach Boys."

-that's true. They also cut "helter skelter" upon hearing the press declare the Who as the worlds heaviest rock band.
