Why grandfather Kazimir is no longer a fashionable DJ. DJ Kazimir: About passing youth and boring old age

City madmen are the brightest and most memorable people, whose images the tourist takes with him along with the taste of the city. They confuse and annoy some, others cannot pass by without taking a picture. No city in the world is unthinkable without such "living sights", KYKY asked residents of different cities around the world about their famous freaks.

Brilliant poet from Kyiv

Cover photo: miestolegenda.wordpress.com

If you ask the inhabitants of Kyiv who they consider their most famous urban freak, you can hear a dozen different answers. Homeless people, street musicians, familiar politicians... But, perhaps, everyone will remember the poet and musician Valery Vinarsky, who sells his books on Andreevsky and reads poetry, accompanying himself on the guitar. The spiritualized gray-haired Vinyarsky gets into the list of freaks thanks to his ability to easily “pull out” a passer-by from the crowd, demand him to name any word that comes to mind and immediately read him a poem with this very word. Sometimes the poet asks the name of the interlocutor and immediately remembers the song with him.

Minsk grandfather-dj Kazimir

Glasses, a cap, a leather jacket with spikes, rings and a magic staff - a Minsker, whom everyone calls Grandfather Kazimir, walks the streets of the capital and entertains passers-by not only with his appearance, but also with cheerful conversations and poems.

On this topic: Is such a psycho - a cyclist with a bat? History from the other side

... We just got stuck, so I can say
About the whole contingent of individuals around him.
Something shy, afraid - ridiculed, slandered,
But I am an artist, and therefore this is my whole cry.
Everything that is with me is the creation of my hands,
That is, my game.

This is an amazing freak that cannot be ignored. Fortunately, Grandfather Kazimir never refuses a photo and is ready to pose for hours. And yet, a few years ago, Grandfather Kazimir became famous as a fashionable DJ!

Freak of Kharkov: the late mad scientist

The name of the late Kharkov freak is Oleg Mitasov. In the 80s of the last century, this Kharkiv resident, an impressive part of whose relatives served in the KGB, became famous for leaving inscriptions of unrelated words on the walls of houses like: “The Union is indestructible. free republics. Not on earth." Or let's say, "Lenin gave everyone an injection in the head", "Study the Russian language, not appropriate it." He could also remove the shoulder straps from the policemen, proving them wrong. They say that Oleg became crazy after he forgot his doctoral dissertation in the tram and therefore could not become a doctor of science. He died in 1999 from tuberculosis in a psychiatric clinic. Some Kharkiv residents were very sorry when Mitasov's house was renovated and all the inscriptions were painted over...

Moscow artist Alyosha Mordasha with a vagina on his back

On this topic: Waited. How girls are waiting for guys from the army in Vkontakte

Alyosha Mordasha is a Moscow freak artist who is inspired by the female genitals. Passers-by on the street are often frightened by his extraordinary appearance - from time to time Alyosha has an embroidered voluminous vagina on his back. But in the art scene, many people know him and even consider him a very smart person. Still would! The artist loves to surprise his friends with pies that look like heaps of shit, and Alyosha also has his own group called Monthly. In short, we advise everyone who liked Alyosha to somehow get to his performances in the Moscow "DK Petliura". This is great!

Pani Roza from Vilnius

Mrs. Boho, Pani Roza, Malvina, Elegant lady - no matter how they call this city madwoman, who has become a living landmark of the capital of Lithuania. It is impossible not to notice Pani Rosa. Energetic, bright, always in incredible outfits, she walks around the city and asks passers-by for some change. Some say that she is over a hundred years old, although this is rather a legend. Others claim that Pani Rosa is able to earn 200 euros per day. There is a sign among the townspeople: if you meet Malvina, something magical will certainly happen.

Restless grandfather on roller skates from Yerevan

On this topic: Test for paranoids: who are you in the world conspiracy theory

Residents of Yerevan are also not far behind in terms of freaks. Among the favorites is Levon Abgaryan, who emigrated from the United States. A handsome gray-haired man in years seems to be quite an ordinary city dweller. But look at your legs: they have roller skates! Even when Levon rides a bike!

Passers-by are attracted by the fact that grandfather rides them all day. Yerevan residents note that the old man is very rich and married to a woman who is 40 years younger than him. Rumor has it that they recently had a baby. For residents of the city, all this is more than surprising.

Black money changer from communist Warsaw

Charny's novel (Black) is a holy, but rather gloomy freak. Pale, in a black hat, Roman seems to pierce you with his eyes. He walks around Warsaw and warns passers-by about possible catastrophes: for example, that a meteorite will fall on Poland and thousands of people will die. Rumor has it that he was once a very rich man, and then he was "fooled", and he went bankrupt. Another version: during communist Poland, a man worked as a money changer, but then capitalism set in, he lost all the money in the casino, and his roof went crazy.

Leader of the Party of Fools from Irkutsk

On this topic: Thirty Belarusians, about whom it is embarrassing to ask: “Who is this?”

The favorite freak of the inhabitants of Irkutsk is the artist of the Piligrim Theater studio Oleg Ermolovich, or simply Petrovich. Petrovich became famous as one of the city's first hippies, and is now known to everyone as the "wise leader of the Party of Fools", which he founded in 1995, when he "realized" that there were a lot of fools. An incredible number of people came to the first meeting, in one of the interviews Petrovich boasts that he still keeps all these three thousand applications for entry at home.

Petrovich's theatrical career began with the fact that he was expelled from the medical university, and he went to work as a stage fitter at the Irkutsk Drama Theater. During the performances, together with his colleague, Petrovich threw small carnations around the stage, which hit the actors. It was like a mosquito bite. No one could understand what was happening, and the guys quietly amused themselves. Oleg Ermolovich often comes up with absurd and funny performances, and also hosts underground events. Neither rock festivals, nor holidays of laughter and beer can do without it.

If you are a Minsker, especially if you have lived in the center for many years, you certainly know the hero of this publication. He is one of those who makes the space around brighter. He is a legend of the capital. And in extravagance, only another legend could compete with him, Eleonora Yezerskaya. In this they were similar: fortunately, his fate was more successful.

Well, if you are a non-resident, get acquainted: this Grandfather Kazimir. Now he is about seventy. He loves good music and stylish images (just the case when it's better to see once). He does not like stereotyped thinking and domestic existence. A few years ago, Grandfather Kazimir (as the residents of the capital call him) could often be seen at holidays or just walking in the city center with a staff and a mouthpiece.

A few years ago, Grandfather Kazimir tried on a new image. In one of the hookah bars in Minsk, he met producer Ilya and since then became known as DJ Kazimir, project star DJ KAZIMIR RUSSIAN DADDY.

Now he travels the world, performing in clubs, and at every opportunity he tries to convey to people one simple thought: there is no such age at which life would end. There would be only desire.

Like many, I have seen this non-standard person in every sense in the city, but I ran into him one on one only in May 2013, around the same time when Grandfather Kazimir started playing records in clubs and released the first clip.

The newly minted DJ Kazimir did not change his habits even then: we met during the Night of Museums.

The first time I tried to photograph it was from the balcony of a restaurant in the Trinity Suburb, where I dropped in to have a drink before visiting museums. Therefore, if I write that his bright image attracts attention from afar, this would not be an exaggeration.

He noticed me and I removed the camera to let him smoke in peace. I ordered coffee. Another fifteen minutes passed, I paid off, went down to the yard and ran nose to nose with Grandfather Kazimir.

Will you take pictures again? - he asked.

If you do not mind.

While I was setting up the camera, Grandfather Kazimir generously shared his wisdom with me.

Here you are photographing me. What for? - then my heart sank: I pester a person on the street with a request to be photographed (exactly four years later, I did not experience the slightest doubt in the same one).

I'm an old man, - continued the DJ (although I would argue with that). - And you are young. Instead of taking pictures of old people, take pictures of yourself!

It was extremely difficult for me to oppose something to this deep thought, so when I finished with the picture, we parted, wishing each other a boring evening.

“There should be more people like me. It will be more beautiful on the streets, life will be better!” - starts the conversation Kazimir Kazimirovich Karpenko or, as he is called, DJ Kazimir. Have you heard of him? Outrageous 69-year-old grandfather on the street always attracts attention. He has a painted cane, fingers in rings and rings, and an icon of the Mother of God in amber on his chest. Cowboy hat and boots, long gray beard and hair. He conquers parties in China, Kazakhstan, Russia and other countries.

Grandfather Kazimir loves different music, but his favorite song is “Get up, the country is huge”

We go with Kazimir Kazimirovich from the stop to the Press House, and people turn their heads, looking at us. Today he is wearing a brown coat, with dozens of bracelets that he made himself hanging from his hands. By the way, I started making jewelry in 1999. I got a ticket at the factory where I worked as an artist, in Kaliningrad. There, in a sanatorium, I saw amber for the first time. He devoted all his time to collecting it. He brought a bottle of amber to Minsk and began to think about how to drill and grind it. Why did you take it? Love for applied art appeared in childhood.

Kazimir Kazimirovich was born near Magadan. For as long as he can remember, they, babies, were transferred from orphanage to orphanage. At the age of 14, he realized that he wanted to become an artist. He recalls: “I took the work, and they took me to the Saratov School. They liked everything, and then they opened a personal file, saw where I was from, and said that they didn’t need any problems.” He was given, without asking, to factory training. Trained as a carpenter. And then life carried him along rather fast and steep waves: he lived in Tobolsk, Tyumen, the Sverdlovsk region, Zaporozhye, Leningrad and many other cities. As a result, I ended up in Minsk.

I have been and am carving. He carved a mammoth tusk, a sperm whale tooth, a walrus tusk: from this he made netsuke - miniature figures, - says Kazimirych. - He was a graphic designer, artist, photographer, director of the House of Culture and even refueled planes! He wrote poetry, and now he became a DJ. My wife, when I die, will not know from which balcony and into which dump truck all my goods - drawings and crafts - should be thrown off.

Kazimir Kazimirovich, who believes that all people should be "concrete originals", became famous in Minsk at the age of 60. A colorful grandfather walking around the city center, it would seem, did nothing special, but people decided that he was a magician. “They come up and ask what awaits them. Will they go to university? Will there be a family? And I answer: "Love yourself, and life will love you."

And others say to me: what are you, a fool? Be sedate, you are almost 70 years old! I don't understand what I should be like: a humpbacked, shabby and funny old pensioner and disabled person? I'm already retired and disabled! Why should I be sad? Grandpa gesticulates emotionally. - The fact that I am eccentric, I myself know ...

Grandfather Kazimirych talks about his move to Minsk: “I ended up here in the 90s because I fell in love with my third wife - Larisa Andreevna, whom we met in Leningrad, - he points to the ring finger of his right hand, there are four rings on it. One engagement is the first wife. The second engagement is the second wife. The “Save and Save” ring and, finally, the third engagement ring - Laura from Minsk put it on her finger. He has lived with her for 27 years. - In Minsk, all the doors were open to me. I had several personal exhibitions - photographs and paintings. I tried to break through everywhere to show my skills.

He worked as a graphic designer at a motor plant, as a photographer and artist at an electrical plant. “And then I sneezed at the factory and went into business - I sold my paintings.” Minsk captured him forever. He visits some of his children in Russia, in Ukraine. By the way, grandfather has four sons, two daughters, four grandchildren, four granddaughters and two great-grandchildren!

Even during our conversation, grandpa does not take out an earpiece from his ear, in which modern music plays. Having already performed in two hundred cities around the world as a DJ in his own years, he has a smartphone in the inside pocket of his coat. He admits: “Yes, now the young people are occupied with smartphones, laptops ... But I, too, after all.”

From Kazimirych, a disco star was made by a producer who had heard a lot about the Minsk grandfather:

When he offered me to perform on stage, I thought: I worked in the field of culture, I was once the organizer of concerts. And everything turned around. “Grandfather arrived - dressed in a hundred skins, as I say,” he hides a smile behind his sunglasses. He loves this element in the design of his outfit. He has 20 glasses, 35 canes. And a dozen New Year's staffs! - I used to play only the piano. And now on the mixer, I read my poems from the stage. But show business is like that - you play what the public orders. True, in 2010 I underwent three operations, it is more difficult to perform. But I know that people need me.

Despite his good spirits, after concerts and photo shoots, grandfather rests in a hotel. Usually, when he goes on tour to China, he works there in 25 cities. And now in Minsk there will soon be New Year's corporate parties, and then, perhaps, again to China ...

What about waiting for someone to submit? If you want money, go work. If you want to be happy - try. Here I like Daria Domracheva. She worked well - she got a family, happiness, comfort. About myself I can say that I learned everything myself. I am now a star or a crescent - I am neither hot nor cold from this. The main thing is that I am real, specific, recognizable and friendly.

Tracks by Kazimir Kazimirovich can be bought in large online stores, for example, in iTunes. And watch the clips with his participation on Youtube. Sometimes grandfather goes back in time and earns by exhibiting his paintings, selling canes. In China, they took one from him right from the stage for five thousand yuan!

Grandfather Kazimir gives a booklet with his poems as a keepsake. The students of the Institute of Culture once helped to collect the poems, they made a film and wrote a thesis about Kazimirych. - By age, you open like a wallet - you give everything away. I don't need anything, I'm leaving soon. But I still have to help my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

DJ Kazimir came to the interview “in style”. Sunglasses, polished shoes, perfume. In one ear - an earpiece, which he does not take out throughout the conversation. The pensioner offered to meet near the extreme park on Stoletova Street.

This is one of my favorite places in the city, - explains. - I often come here with my old woman (wife Larisa. - Auth.). I like how they arranged the site: they did it beautifully for us, pensioners, and for children. Festive looks great. The only thing that gets stolen. Get out the benches on the football field - one was dismantled in parts a year ago.
Outrageous Kazimir Karpenko is well known to many Minskers. With a gray beard, in a hat, with an original stick and rings on his hands, he used to often walk in the city center. He spoke in verse and made predictions at the request of passers-by. And five years ago he became a fashionable DJ. Discos, clips, tours - everything is as it should be. Kazimir Kazimirovich is over 70, but he does not name the exact age: “If there is an interest in life, why count the years?”

“Every time I leave the house is a holiday for me”

- Have you always been so outrageous?

As long as I can remember. For about 15 years I worked as the director of palaces-houses of culture and I must look accordingly so that people take an example from me. You can’t give up on yourself either at 30 or at 40, you need to remain individual. At my age, maybe it's strange, but for me and others - a joy. My image makes you smile, take pictures. A lot of films and documentaries have been shot about me - this confirms that people are interested in me.

For me, every exit from the house is a holiday. Every day I have new beads, a stick, a panagia (an icon on my neck. - Auth.). I do all this myself. Accessories make me and my beard happy.

- Tell us about your outfit today.

What to tell? I thought white and red would go well together. Each costume has its own stick. I have about 40 of them - both wooden and bone. And seven New Year's wands - after all, I'm some kind of Santa Claus. This is a stick assembled from various caps that someone once threw away, counters, plumbing, glass from a former chandelier. The knob was cut out by myself. I love crafting. At one time I studied the Tobolsk bone carving industry. Even as a child, my artistic talents showed up: I could make something interesting out of nothing.

- Do you dress so brightly in the store too?

Wherever I go, I try to look individual, beautiful. And then around somehow gloomy, all in black. And then the white grandfather came out, and even with a gray beard - it’s already good. On Sunday, I was at a motorcycle festival (we are talking about the opening of the motorcycle season, which took place on April 15. - Auth.) - of course, looked as expected.
You can climb into a padded jacket and not go anywhere from home, but this is not interesting. In the store, in the subway, everyone looks back - I'm pleased. I don't think I should be like everyone else.

- They call you the city freak. Isn't it embarrassing?

A lot has been written about me, you see, both a white crow and an urban eccentric. So says the one who himself has lost self-expression, looks sloppy, in uncleaned shoes. But it doesn't offend me. I know that I'm good. They take a selfie with me: I'm exclusive.

Planes, hotels, fees

- How did it happen that you became a DJ in retirement?

I remember when I was still working as a strawberry, headed the House of Culture in a village in northern Russia, I had to spend evenings, some kind of dance. I made a list of what to buy, went to Tyumen, went shopping, picked up microphones and equipment. In the evenings, he jerked himself, and sang himself.
And then one friend noticed me in films (young producer Ilya Sukhomlin. - Auth.). And he offered to go on a tour of the world. We made an agreement with him. And at that time I had already had three operations - because of oncology, a sick heart. The doctors said: you have to live ten years, and I thought: let the years pass on the stage, you have to move. I had to do dressings every week. This was usually done by the wife or nurse. The producer learned from them how to “darn” me.

I performed for four years. In 2017 was my last concert.

- Where have you been on tour?

China, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Germany, Baltic states, Armenia, Russia. Most of all I remember when I left for a month. At home you do not see - only yourself and your outfits. Planes, trains, hotels, fees... What else did a sick pensioner need at his age? In my youth I traveled all over Russia - from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad (Kazimir Kazimirovich himself is from Magadan. - Auth.). And then I saw countries where I had never been. I didn't dream. He also performed in Minsk. Who buys grandfather - there and food.

- Why do you need all this? We would sit quietly at home on the couch, watch TV.

Oh, No. I have always been where I am needed. He decorated hotels, erected monuments, painted walls in houses of culture. Sitting still didn't even cross my mind. Thanks to my stubbornness, importunity, I opened all the doors and windows. In the orphanage, they instilled in me a love for work: no matter what I undertook, I did everything in good faith. He was an electrician, a carpenter, and a projectionist.

Why don't you perform anymore?

So the contract ended.

- Did you like the club atmosphere, modern music?

Well, compared to our evenings wildly. Everyone obeys some kind of monotonous music. It's impossible to have fun under it. And how to dance. Now they don’t even sing - they move rap. But I didn't care - I played what they asked. The main thing is that they paid, gave the opportunity to travel.

- What do you like to listen to?

All Soviet. Right now, the Humor channel sounds in the headphones. And so the records that give me inspiration are the music of the 1950s, 60s, 70s. Youth idols. I love Chanson. If I work on netsuke - sculptures of small forms - I always listen to music and purr under my breath.

How do you like the current generation?

Previously, they lived in a communal apartment, but they were like brothers, the doors were practically not locked. And now I don’t know who lives in the entrance opposite me. And it is necessary to close all the locks, otherwise they will rob ...

Youth is intelligent, there will be no other. She deserved her time. Let them find themselves - both in tattoos and in extreme entertainment. But do not bring it to the point of absurdity. The only thing is that young people do not want to listen to what adults tell them. For them, parents and grandfathers were out of the game. "My way, don't interfere." Well, God be with you. Our job is to accept, endure and not snot. They used to be the same.

“I conquered Larisa with rhyming”

- You came to Minsk to see your third wife. What is this story?

When I was the director of another club in the Urals, a three-story one, I was given a ticket to Leningrad for good work. Well, I went on vacation. And there in the sanatorium I met Larisa. I have been divorced for two years, she - eight. I'm not Yesenin, but I always spoke in verse. He conquered her with rhyming. They say women love with their ears. And also, when I went to Leningrad, I took several pieces of netsuke with me to sell. She saw them and was inspired. Then she came to me to the north, to my apartment, and there all the walls were hung with pictures. She probably thought that with such a master she would not be lost: she knows how to do something, which means there will be money in the family. In the Urals, they signed. And in the 1990s they moved to Larisa in Minsk. Normally, already 28 years together. Patients, cores, we live from penny to penny. And nothing, flourished so far.

- Is your Larisa bright too?

Well, she tries to fit in when she goes on a date with me. If I invite her to the city, she picks up beautiful clothes and a pleasant aroma - she knows with whom she will walk.

- Have you learned to understand women in three marriages?

Enough. All I know is that you need to be able to keep silent. And respect for a woman can not be taken away
.
- Do you have children, grandchildren?

I have four sons, two daughters, four grandchildren, four granddaughters and two great-grandchildren. Little orphanage. The first family - in Saratov, the second - in Ukraine, near Poltava.

- Do they often call you?

I used to visit them as much as possible. But now you won’t get far with my ulcers, because then you need to take both your wife and medicines with you. But the grandchildren call and write on Facebook - that's enough.

- Don't you feel lonely?

No, I understand that a grandfather is a grandfather. Young people have their own worries. You will hear an affectionate word - and that is pleasant. And how to live is their way, they know better. I'm not to judge.

- Ideal old age - what is it like?

She must be busy and interesting. Go to a circle, to a public discussion. I think there should be work in life - from the first day to the last, as you can see from artists and politicians. It's a shame when pensioners at enterprises turn out to be unnecessary... Whenever possible, a person should work, only then will he find himself. If someone bought me, for example, in Dubai, I would go again, despite my sores. It is necessary to live interestingly, ardently, beautifully.

In Minsk, it is difficult to find a person who would not know the outrageous grandfather from Nemiga. Grandfather Kazimir surprises and pleases passers-by with his extraordinary outfits, exclusive canes and is happy to take pictures with onlookers and newlyweds. Another distinguishing feature of the future artist of the European club scene is his charisma. He constantly impromptu speaks in verse. Seven months ago, the legendary man discovered a new role in himself - grandfather Kazimir became a DJ! Onliner.by talked to him and his producer Ilya Sukhomlin about the KAZIMIR RUSSIAN DADDY project.

In an updated look - glasses, a cap, a leather jacket with spikes - it's still easy to recognize the favorite of our streets.

- What are you playing now?- the first thing we asked was when grandfather Kazimir began to take off his headphones.

- At the moment my idol is playing David Guetta. Sometimes I listen to other music, for example Stas Mikhailov. Lately more often club music accompanies me. When something new comes across, the grandchildren pump it to me. Here I have Pan Americano recorded in my player four times in a row. I stick out of it and bastard.

The producer hatched this project for four years. Paradoxically, all this time Ilya was looking for an unusual grandfather all over the post-Soviet space and exactly seven months ago he accidentally met Kazimirych in one of the hookahs in Minsk. From that day on, everything turned around.

KAZIMIR RUSSIASN DADDY has not yet been released to the public, but the first tracks are already available in 12 of the largest music stores in the world, including iTunes, Amazon and Juno Download. By the way, the first single - Just Wanna Be - is even in Shazam.

As Ilya told us, the first clip was shot by a director from New York, the cameraman and video engineer of the video was Alisa Selishcheva from Belarus. The graphics were done in Paris, and the color grading was done in New York.

The nearest plans include recording a Russian-language song with a famous Russian pop singer, where grandfather Kazimir will not only play records, but also sing.

- By the end of summer, we plan to release a song about a beard, and this will be the answer to the leader of YouTube ratings, Korean artist PSY,- the producer reveals his cards. - We focus on Western markets. Unfortunately, our local musical field does not have a commercial start, and there is no public here. The market called "showbiz" here touches me with naivety. We definitely do not plan to play for $200, because we know our worth.

Wherever I am, whether I am eating or sitting, my fingers always go to the beat of the music. Give me some drums and I'll beat out the rhythms of what's playing in my ears, one on one.

I am not an artist, but a master from birth, and my life flourished with a bouquet, loving. I simply love all my life as happiness, for this I thank my father and mother and myself.

I'm really not today, tomorrow I'll be 66. It's not 666. I'll live for centuries, but that's only when I'm gone forever. When I will be remembered not only by youth, but by generations with delight. They will see: yes, there was such an old man here and as a DJ he ran, played records, read poetry with delight.

I myself do not know how I got into this project, but I am glad that he found me. I am grateful that Ilya, the all-seeing joy, offered me a good deed. I remembered my life again with my youth. And he began to do what he had done before, when he directed in houses of culture and palaces, organized discos and voyages, so that the masses could only be warmed up with joy.

Now I'm simply not a double, but a real life I live. And for this, believe me, I am grateful to God and fate.

While I am only at the beginning of sponsorship, what should I invest when I am a pensioner. If I invested anything, then in myself through life. And I became famous for this, that 30 films about me were created, that I am this master and a real city pedestal.

I want to live, not to vegetate. Movement is my credo. From his young years he was an artist, photographer, carver, club director, organizer of discos, projectionist, head of circles and amateur performances. In recent years, everything has stopped. And then I was lucky to meet Ilya. Without a twinge of conscience and without mumbling, I said: "Yes, I want. If you want my blood circulation to become intense and not stagnate, but, on the contrary, to live and prolong my years, I am ready to risk everything.

I am an orphanage - I grew up without a father and mother. I have always liked collectivism. Now I will be among the masses that I have always loved and love. I will carry my energy and movement towards joy. The basis of my life is to observe, to carry the charge of this cheerfulness, loving that everything around me only becomes infected and lives in joy with love, because life is bestowed as a holiday for the summer.

My wife is also a pensioner [Larisa - Kazimir's third wife - approx. Onliner.by], we have been living together for a quarter of a century. When she found out about my plans and the innovations that I was offered, she said: “If it will prolong your years and you will not be a boring whiner, you will not sit in a hut in retirement and say that no one needs you, then I am 100% for it, yes.” It flattered me. She began to help me: she will gather me on trips in time, feed me, make beds, stroke, wash. He makes sure that my clothes (and I do everything myself) are always clean and well-groomed.

The touring clothes differ from my everyday ones with modern innovations, or rather “metallic”: there are a lot of spikes, chains, crosses and shards on it. But this is the work of the producer and stylists. This glamorous-rock shocking is close to me. Especially for me, they made exclusive black boots with spikes. Nobody really has those.

I am a modern grandfather, I understand a lot, and also accept the new, loving. I live with emotions and take everything from life. That's the kind of grandpa I am. By the way, I have the official music
