Very good writer and performer. I have been able to hear his stuff in English and not in Georgian and he says the truth. Thank you very much, Irakli and do it more.

@maxonarin exactly. I don't understand how can they allow such retarded junkies out of the country. He is just crazy, might stab somebody, I would not get too surprised. /:

@SalomeGor65 Want the truth? Nobody gives a shit about this guy, I don't even know his name. But I saw him a couple of times on TV and on YouTube... he behaved so hysterically he has genuinely earned my disgust.

[skyninjabot]

@SalomeGor65 He may be gay, but this is not even the half of the problem. He is a simple retarded moron. Being a retarded moron today in Georgia is WORSE than being a gay and being a traitor.

London performance was very good. especially the Cabaret. I love Cabaret performances. "The atmosphere is not a perfume - as Whitman would say.  great Kakabadze.

@skyninjabot What a homophobic comment - even if yes, so what? What is this homophobic propaganda?:)

[SalomeGor65]

@maxonarin I can see the Georgian Propaganda machine is really scared of something. you must be scared of truth. That's it.

[SalomeGor65]

Kakabadze is a great writer. Georgian propaganda is after him, like Nazi regime was after Thomas Mann. Saakashvili's primitivist nationalism will never grasp Kakabadze's writing style. we need more writers like him who are not afraid to say the truth.

Is that a madness, what he's talking about? Or it's only one's unfounded subjective opinion? I've met him at the peace conference in Italy and can affirm, that he who blames him for madness, is a liar :) Directly, simply and logically :)

[maxonarin]

He's such a moron, someone should translate his stuff to English, he's just mad
