Энтони Кидис (RHCP) о концерте на Красной Площади (лето 1999 г.). Ржал во весь голос.
"...As part of Russia's glasnost awakening, they'd embraced MTV, and we were tapped to inaugurate MTV's Russian debut with a huge free concert in Red Square. The first problem was that John (Frusciante, гитарист) had to be talked down from his concern that we might be kidnap victims, because next to Colombia, Russia had become the kidnap capital of the world. After getting assurances for our personal safety, and getting assigned a contingent of security personnel, we agreed to do the show.You'd expect that Moscow, Russia's biggest city, would be run efficiently, maybe even in a military fashion, but that wasn't the case. There was no order at all, and shakedowns were the norm. The cops, the military, the airport personnel, everybody wanted our rubles. It was the first time any of us had been to Russia, and we did feel a little unsafe there [...]. Everything in Moscow was gray, gray, gray. The sky was gray, the buildings were gray, the streets were gray, the bushes were gray. There was this heavy cloud of Stalinesque gravity that suffocated the place [...].Then we hightailed (~ мчаться со всех ног) it out of Russia, but we got pulled over and extorted by the police on the way to the airport. As a final indignity, Chad (Smith, барабанщик) got shaken down"
