This song, written by Neil Young in 1989, has a special meaning and meaning. It was created during the singer's tour, when he had to give up concerts in the Soviet Union. “Rockin' in the Free World” became a protest against the political situation of that time. Blinken also showed a spirit of freedom and self-expression with his performance.
We had no idea that Blinken had such a hidden talent. Well, we will be glad to see him in Kyiv again, but with a full concert. And why not?
