After the Super Cup with Bi-2: when the people are smarter than those in power
You should always prepare for the worst. Especially if you have a “rose” (scarf, if that) of “Spartak” on your neck. Firstly, the “red-whites” are highly likely to lose. This happened after the expulsion of head coach Massimo Carrera, and then it began... oh, don’t rub salt in my wound. And secondly, something else might happen. Worse.
Perhaps Shura and Lyova from Bi-2 did not know this. Meanwhile, the Spartak “rose” flashed through them. And away we go! “Spartak”, of course, lost to “Zenith” (for each goal I ate a Validol tablet; well, how can that be, Abaskal?) – and disastrously, and after Lev and Shura came out to set the stadium on fire, as the advertising before the match promised us . But it didn’t work out. The fans in the stands greeted the two not-so-patriotic comrades with a deafening whistle, as cliche journalists write in such cases. Whistling! And there were a lot of words addressed to the musicians.
Here, however, we mustn't forget that before this, Zenit fans booed singer MakSim, whose hit "Do You Know?" is known to be a favorite performance at the stadium by Spartak fans. And yes, watch their joint performance with the singer and the players after winning the Russian Cup. It was powerful! Perhaps the Zenit fans were jealous? But Bi-2, of course, was booed for something else—both Spartak and Zenit fans united in this act of protest. And they booed not even because Lyova and Shura aren't particularly patriotic, but for their hypocrisy, especially when the musicians wanted to have both a fish and a government contract.
It's a pointless topic, of course, among our so-called celebrities – to be afraid to support the state, to associate themselves with it in any way. American rockers, for example, often indulge in this – singing backup for the local authorities. Yes, of course, there's Rage Against the Machine, and then there's Foo Fighters, led by Dave Grohl (it's no wonder Kurt Cobain, for whom Dave served as drummer, apparently disliked him) who sang at the inauguration of the American president . And people like Sir Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger have become completely entwined with the global establishment. What the hell kind of rock 'n' roll is this? It's not me asking – it's the great Johnny Rotten.
I say this to emphasize that we shouldn't be ashamed of our love for our country or our state. And, even more so, to conspiratorially whisper, " But in the West... " Things aren't quite as they seem to some pundits. And please, spare me these questions: why didn't Shnur perform at the Super Bowl? Excuse me, but since when did Sergei Shnurov, a notorious opportunist, manage to become a top-notch musician and patriot? Igor Rasteryaev, I repeat, would have been far more appropriate. He loves his country, not just in words.
As for Bi-2, this story once again demonstrated: the people are smarter and more understanding than many of those who sit at the top and make decisions. And, in fact, they, these bosses, and not Lev and Shura, should be “glorified” in the media and social networks. If we, of course, want to get to the root of the problem and try to eradicate it.
