sasha_featherI am currently re-listening to this interview in a quest to see if Regina Spektor is gay. Google won't tell me.
"Regina Spektor Reflects on the Pussy Riot Trial" (and other things)
http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/story/2012/10/17/regina-spektor-q.html
Interview is 24:52
She is talking about Ani DiFranco and Joni Mitchell
Talking about ART and how HAPPY it makes her :D
Searched YouTube for recordings of her OWN songs to remember them!! Has forgotten some of her songs.
Emigrated from Russia in 1989 to the Bronx.
Returned to Russia to tour recently, talks about Pussy Riot sentencing, Russia making examples of people. Talks about Occupy Movement.
Tremendous amount of very open homophobia in Russia.
"Why aren't you boycotting Russia? In St Petersburg you can't even say that you're gay publicly."
She says she plays for the people that come to her shows, not for the politicians.
