I wish I could get into that. It's grand sounding but not my thing

Dude's a total pimp, I love everything he did. Died young of course.

I first heard about him with a reference to the Wolf Hunt song in a book about a Soviet GRUagent that defected. He was recommended to listen to the song before a mission or something, because it was masculine as fuck. It took me too many listens of Wolf Hunt to realize that it's about a wolf becoming the prey

One of the things I picked up about Vysotsky (from youtube comments) is that his songs were acceptable by the party or whatever, but also included hidden messages or jokes about Soviet life. Like, little hidden subversive things. It's all foreign to me so I don't know, and can't explain, but I do think I hear the irreverences in his Ear sex
