Invasion - survive in spite of! ..

Anatoly Strunin writes: “It has already been proven a hundred times that any rock festival is not for wimps. This is for people with incredible zest for life, powerful health and hardy liver. Music here, of course, also plays a role, but obviously not the most important.

And in all of the above parameters, "Invasion" is probably not inferior to the various "woodstocks" there. People come for three nine lands to hang out, to live a couple of days outside the context of the usual regulated and everyday life. And three days, as a rule, is enough to go through the reverse evolutionary path and become Tarzan. Or Tarzansha…”

The current "Invasion" was no exception. The people got what they wanted. Non-stop from two sites, domestic rock was pouring on him, fighter jets rumbled in the sky in demonstration flights and paratroopers circled, shish kebab smoked, Klinskoye foamed from morning to night ... Everything was, as always, moderately “decadent and vicious if you remember Hunter S. Thompson's Kentucky Derby.

The Ministry of Defense decided this year to somehow turn the tide with morale at the Invasion. A detachment of brutal paratroopers along with armored vehicles landed at the festival. They arranged physical exercises in the mornings, drove those who wished along the obstacle course ... In short, they made it clear to young people in every possible way that there is an alternative to moral decay. And it consists in defending the Motherland. Hope it works. And in the fall there will be a queue at the military registration and enlistment offices.

Well, those who turn out to be stubborn will remain and will wait for the next "Invasion". Like it or not, we have no rock festival better than it. But one rule should still be kept in mind: on the eve of the trip, do not listen to Western rock and do not watch live concerts of any “DM” or “U2” ... will help…

But we remember that rock music is not party music. It is the language of protest, rebellion, if you will. The salt of this protest at the "Invasion" was a kind of hashtag launched from the stage by Diana Arbenina from "Night Snipers" - "Survive in spite of." Well, as they say, thanks for that. The social orientation of domestic rock is marked, now we will hone our skills. And, of course, to wait for the new festival. See you where!
