    Same here - I think that everything that can be said about the singer & Beyreuth has been said.

      Ave atque vale. I do understand that only Left-wing bluster and rhetoric is admissible on these boards.

        I think your understanding is wrong: right-wing bluster and rhetoric is normally admissible as long as it doesn't offend in other ways, for example in containing racist overtones or insulting individual members.
        It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          The prevalence of phrases like "errant piffle" instantly disproves that contention...
          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              And predictably all the rest of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse have ridden forth in pursuit of the .well, what exactly...Shibboleth? Yup, that fits.


              Anyway returning to the original thread...there is one interpretation that is valid if one had ANY generosity of spirit (sadly lacking in many who post here)......to whit that our Russian singer (a) has a very good voice and well-suited to the role and (b) had his tattoos done when he was a naive young man. If one accepts that these two are valid viewpoints then to argue anything else comes across as, frankly, petty-minded.
              Do you have personal responsibility for children or colleagues RM?

              Your finger-wagging style suggests that it doesn't rest easy with your personality as illuminated by your rather ill-tempered posts.

              But being of generous spirit, I'll put it down to the weather
