    Bravo! This will definitely stop the monster, as all other anti-war concerts in the past two months did successfully before.

    All the sheep getting together for their “Anti Putin Tour”. They seem to pick and choose their wars, and forget about what’s going on in the rest of the world.

  • Hayne says:

    Are they going to do an anti Poland tour when they annex Galicia in the Ukraine? Oops, too soon?

  • John King says:

    One more reason why I love Khatia Buniatishvili!
