This could very well be a paid post, but it's not (unless you consider a free concert and a couple of Pepsi bottles as 'payment'). I was just passing by their tent and the music caught my ear; I enjoyed it while watching a cover of Talking Heads (Psycho Killer). All in all, a great opportunity to reminisce on what Pepsi meant in my childhood.

Sunt in chinurile facerii mai multor articole lungi si nici nu am timp, asa ca pana incepe cuptorul uterin sa beep-aie - adica pana le zamislesc - ce-ar fi sa ne uitam la Indexul Democratiei si ce ne dezvaluie despre Romania si-alte tari?

Noam Chomsky este cel mai cunoscut dissident American.
