In which John Green teaches you about the Cold War, which was occasionally hot, but on average, it was just cool. In the sense of its temperature. It was by no means cool, man. After World War II, there were basically two big geopolitical powers left to divide up the world. And divide they did. The United States and the Soviet Union divvied up Europe in the aftermath of the war, and then proceeded to spend the next 45 years fighting over the rest of the world. It was the great ideological struggle, with the US on the side of capitalism and profit, and the USSR pushing Communism, so-called. While both sides presented themselves as the good guy in this situation, the reality is that there are no good guys. Both parties to the Cold War engaged in forcible regime changes, built up vast nuclea...
What started out as an ideal of equality among men, from the few who could not stand the oppression of an unstoppable power evolved into much, much more. The USSR (CCCP) was the largest and most powerful state in the world, but corruption and evil consumed its glory and transformed it into something completely and utterly different than from what it's founders had intended. It had gone from being a liberating force of freedom to the other oppressed peoples of the world, to oppressing and murdering their own people and becoming exactly what the idealistic founder of the state were trying to ovoid- tyrants. The legacy from the Soviet Union is one to marvel at, from rise to fall, from one war to the next, 74 years of transformation and ultimately its own internal destruction... Music crea...
Own words: "Eddy Huntington or (Eddie or Edward, all of which are me) was born on the 29th October 1965 in the North East of England. I was born the son of a coal miner and a housewife. I have three sisters, Anne, Enid and Sheila. I went to local schools in Peterlee and then to the local grammar school. At 18 I left home to go and live in London. This was the start of a big change in my life. I started working in Pineapple Dance studios and did some work modelling and as a video extra. During this time I made contact with Baby Records in Italy. I listened to a demo of USSR and decided to record it. In Milano I made lots of new friends. Den Harrow, Tom Hooker, Jennifer Munday, Sharon, Baltimora and many others. The eighties were fantastic, with good music, lots of fun and a litt...

(Verse)
My heart beats like a bloody sting
Tie me down with the tightest string
Walking alone through the cemetery
Girl you alone sitting next to me
(Chorus)
Giving you up is the hardest thing wow
You your games and your subtleties wow
You alone in the summer's breeze girl
(Verse)
We take for granted this security wow
A familiarity the luxury wow
We're stuck here arguing the same old thing wow
Locked alone in our tendencies
(Verse)
And the frantic seizure in the city street wow
The children dance 'till the silence beat wow
You alone in the neo heathen throne
(Verse)
Back again in the same routine wow
Familiar habities and activites wow
Mammal insticits,procurities wow
All alone in our sanctity
(Chorus)
Giving you up is the hardest thing
You we're never ever meant to leave home
