1995
SETTING SAIL TO MOSCOW – SECOND TRY

Invited by the Russian Minister of Culture and supported by the Dutch Embassy in Moscow and the Russian Embassy in The Hague the Fools set sail to Sankt Petersburg – to hear that the Russian Minister of Defence had ordered a browbeating “Njet”. Indeed, Fools are Dangerous Elements To The State and used to be already mutilated or annihilated by Ivan the Terrible. At least, the Russian Institute of Theoretical Astronomy did succeed in having a planet being named “The Ship of Fools”. The Fools performed in the Petersburg “Park of Culture and Leisure”, in exchange for food, drinks and drawings of the ship. In Helsinki the Ship of Fools became an instant hit, when the public was lining up to reserve for the tickets. The same limousine that a week earlier brought The Stones to the stadium came to fetch the Fools for a TV-interview.

Invitados por el Ministro de Cultura ruso y apoyados por la Embajada de los Países Bajos en Moscú y la Embajada de Rusia en La Haya, los Locos zarparon hacia San Petersburgo, para enterarse de que el Ministro de Defensa ruso había ordenado un intimidante “Njet”. De hecho, los locos son elementos peligrosos para el estado y ya fueron mutilados o aniquilados por Iván el Terrible.
Al menos, el Instituto Ruso de Astronomía Teórica logró que un planeta fuera bautizado como “El Barco de los Locos”.
Los locos actuaron en el “Parque de Cultura y Ocio” de San Petersburgo, a cambio de comida, bebida y dibujos del barco.
En Helsinki, El Barco de los Locos se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo, cuando el público hacía cola para reservar las entradas.
La misma limusina que una semana antes llevó a los Stones al estadio vino a buscar a los Fools para una entrevista televisiva.
