Grass pop, but how many times that's a good good festival. Yes, you have, sir, and you've rocked every face.

A good old grass pop. I forget where we were somewhere where you guys were playing and I just heard the crowd going crazy and I go over there and it was stolen.

Every fist was in the sky. It was amazing.

You know, we can't play that song anymore right now. It's not a good politically not a good time to play that song, you know, with that Ukrainian war going on. So we stopped doing it. But yeah, I remember it was usually a crowd favorite.

Yeah, I wanted to ask you, is it touchy or do you think with the crowd really care? Like did you have people say don't don't play it?

Not the crowd who's there that's there, but usually somebody will care online and of course, you know, we have a lot of fans in Russia and they see things of course quite differently or actually I don't know how they see it because it's a subject that nobody talks about, but I could imagine.
