saltwn, even if you tune to ANY American radio station which plays pop music still you won't hear a single song of Leningrad Cowboys.

I guess in America no one heard about this group before....

Does this explain the (relatively speaking) large number of Russian immigrants to Alabama in recent years??

Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians. It still exists. The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day.

Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys. A little while ago, they held a concert in Russia, in which - to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers - they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of "Sweet Home Alabama." In English. You couldn't make this up.

We're talking seriously off the wall here. Better have that Stoli ready when you watch it:

They are actually very good. Who'da thunk it? Southern Funk from the deep frozen North.

Where does it say that there is a "large number of Russian immigrants in Alabama"?

I say there are more than ever before in my lifetime. No I don't have a reference. But I could show you a pic of a really cute Alabama newswoman who is from Russia if you like.
