This is starting to turn ugly...

Methinks it kinda was so from almost the very start... anybody wants to talk about our "king", eh? Since i am most likely the only Russian here, this wouldn't be so "dangerous". Image

Could it be that she is rather ironic, sarcastic and laconic with her conversation? For example:

ERII, thinking to self: "oh, damn, these unwashed, drunkard, promiscuous and/or drug taking musicians again. What shall I say this time? Oh, I know!"

ERII to group of aging, famous guitar players with dyed hair: "And what do you do, then?"

Eh eh eh eh ... What a woman. She's seen a lot in her lifetime - and it ain't over by a long shot.

King Peter of Russia? I heard he was great!

Anyone in power is immediately a target of jokes, ridicule, criticism...it's all just attention. But I think it's funny whenever any head of state publicly meets a rock star... To me, rock and roll has always blown raspberries at the status quo and at those in power. This picture is as amusing to me as Elvis & Nixon...or the Beatles meeting Elizabeth.

You should've seen our president and Moscow mayor at Paul McCartney's concert in Red Square! That was really something.
