    I happen to watch a PBS Documentary about the huge effect the Beatles song Back in the USSR had upon the Soviet youth.

    Soviet kid's so long forced to listen to only Communist Party sanctioned patriotic songs got bootleg recordings of that song and actually began their own stories and urban legends of how the Beatles were touring the Soviet Union.

    They began to make their own guitars and the effect of that song was massive and invasive upon the Soviet population.

    The PBS Documentary was really something.

    All these kids in the Soviet Union would make homemade guitars and grow their hair like the Beatles and they would even create their own urban legends about how they saw John or Paul show up and jam with their friends at some secret location! LOL!!

    When the song Back in the USSR came out and then was first heard by kids in the Soviet Union they really thought that the Beatles were touring the USSR.

    Now obviously this song was written as a spoof and commentary as back then only Communist Party Approved patriotic songs were allowed on the radio and it was extremely frowned upon and many times criminal for anyone to be playing a Bootleg Beatles 45 so the kids kept their excitement underground.

    I have something in mind for my part of the world......

    that it would be extremely easy to fit in an A-list actor.......

    such as Chris Hemsworth..... playing the role of an online buddy of mine......

    and Christ ends up in Nova Scotia... supposedly in 1939.......

    Oh.... Chris...... is to be a quite gifted musician and singer in this role..........

    It involves helicopter rides...... for potential leaders of certain Canadian political parties......

    We could also set some of this in the early '80's... where Chris's band uses
    songs to affect the young people of........... east Germany perhaps??????

    A near death experiencer was shown something kind of astonishing about a group that is going to be raised up in Russia.

    This is certainly not what Garner Ted Armstrong had predicted back in the '70's or '80's.
