American pianoliticians are traditionally even better technically though..

The performance itself reinforces my growing conviction that cultural appropriation is not b.s.

Great link and mr Trump entertaining as usual, let me concentrate a little more on one of the politicians mentioned in this Guardian article, IMO he really deserves it..

Multitalented - dancing, singing, conducting, drumming.. and more, much more!
Boris Yeltsin - the guy who gave Russia (and the world) Vladimir Putin..

Vaclav Havel's industrial drumming.

Frank Zappa, who let's not forget was going to run for president which unfortunately ultimately didn't happen because of his disease.. Vaclav Havel among the audience.

One part of me questions if its just a giant "voiceover" to some other performance they were doing

Another part of me would find it pretty funny if it is indeed real.

Yeah, it fooled me first time through. It's fake. Thank goodness. But that it was even a plausible occurrence is a nod to the absurd levels of distortion in our post-truth era. .. wait, that might be a political comment. Please ignore. 🙄

A different perspective.. Despite the fact that it had been recorded in a goddamn 16/44, still one of my reference recordings.

Wiki: [Iron Hand] relates to the Battle of Orgreave during the UK miners' strike, with Mark Knopfler remarking on how the police charge on horseback into the crowd of striking miners had reminded him of the savagery of medieval times.
