As I bound up the side of Black Mesa, seeking the highest point in Oklahoma, I breathlessly expound upon Russia. Another high point... witnessing Pussy Riot receiving the Woody Guthrie Prize for bravely pushing back against the fascists with their machines and machinations. At a bar near Cain's, an attendee showed off his haul of Pussy Riot merchandise telling his mates how it was better than seeing Roger Waters. I wanted to chime in about Waters being a Putin apolgist... but I didn't.
