FAO: Grigory Rasputin, the mad mystic of Petrograd

Rasputin.

I dont believe you've yet explained what your doing on the front of the Twisted Tenderness cover....

And by the way that program on Channel5 last night about you and your mad crazy Russian ways was most enlightening :)

What's FAO mean? For attention of? I always think of FAO Schwartz the overpriced obnoxious toystore featured in the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks. BTW, I'm just a little :topic:

Did anyone see that program on Rasputin last night on British Channel 4. The Guy was a complete nutter, a right evil bastard!

Channel 4 or 5, Dammit! But you have to admit that for being 200+ years of age (I've never been good with history), he has a knack for self promotion! Perhaps Johnny and Barney have made a deal with a devil? But then again, if they had they probably would have gotten better promotion in the U.S.;)

don't you get it? the title is twisted tenderness!rasputin was a nut! that album though, give or take it, what do u all think?

Hmm actually it was on Channel4 as it goes!!

just found this interview with Johnny and Barney, explains why they used that piccie on the cover!!

Dave Briggs asks: "What's the story behind you using a picture of Rasputin on your album sleeve?"Bernard: "We're big fans of Boney M. I've always loved Ra Ra Rasputin. We liked the photograph and that's the only reason. We're not that interested in Rasputin. We just like the intense gaze he has. I saw a film about him and I reckon the guy got a bum rap. He cured the Tsar's son and spent the rest of the time having intimate relations with all the ladies in waiting...and what's wrong with that."

go here for the full interview :)

Is it true what they say about your "Polish sasuage", hint hint......? Wait, no, I don't want to know

Okay, didn't think so....:D

but nothing that can't be sorted by the odd invasion or three :D

I sure it helps out that they no longer share a common border....

I always thought it was cute, strange and bizzare that Mr. R was on that album cover. Everytime i see it a get a good chuckle
