#102b - REDWAVE [REDACTED]: Weird Crises Inside The Kremlin (w/ @JimmyFalunGong)

Dimitri and Jimmy Falun Gong (@p2chillpodcast) continue exploring Joanna Stingray’s activities during the glasnost-era mainstream explosion of Soviet rock music, including: enlisting her “politically affluent” family friends to reverse a Soviet visa denial, bringing Viktor Tsoi and Yuri Kasparyan to LA to get compulsory dental work and have a “transcendent experience” at Disneyland, Boris Grebenshikov insulting American Rock on David Letterman, the sudden explosion of littering and tacky consumerism in late Soviet culture, Sergei Kuryokhin hanging out with Frank Zappa in Laurel Canyon, Joanna’s anticommunist dad taking Viktor and Yuri to the LA Friar’s Club/Bohemian Grove nerve center, getting a George Soros grant to bring Kino to Sundance, the tragic/mysterious death of Viktor Tsoi, Joanna Stingray’s very rapid and lucrative ascent to Russian rock stardom during/after the collapse of the USSR, and her equally rapid fall from grace in the mid-1990s.
