It's the most surreal thing I've ever seen. A bunch of Finns pretending to be a Russian band from the boonies who look and dress the part of rock'n'rollers but have never heard Rock'n'Roll in their lives. And then they go to America, pretending very hard to be Americans, and lying through their teeth all the while.

It's extremely perplexing.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Except from way waaaay before, and it's the Cowboys that are ridiculous (and remarkably quiet and stoic) rather than the Americans.

In case someone is any doubt about what the Leningrad Cowboys look like:

[up][up][up]The more accurate comparison would probably be This is Spın̈al Tap. Though ''Borat is not far off the mark, either (and, like Handle said, it was done way before Borat was even a thing on Sacha B. Cohen's mind).
