@gutz1981

That is because despite the fact that the "Macedonia" you live in was NOT where Alexander The Great was born or grew up and ruled, you still use him as a type of masscot in order to try and get recognition for somthing your land was only half apart of at one stage apart of. If King Phillip and Alexander The Great are Macedonian, and your country CLAIMS to be Macedonia, then why was their kingdome and home STILL historically labled around the world by scholars as being inside Greece? The part of Greece that has ALWAYS called itself Macedonia, yet you at one point were called Skopia or Yougslavia?

This song makes me picture North Ireland 1968 with the slow-motion opening onset of a brutal street war between Protestant & Catholic Gangs, both sides marching n’ wielding shanks, bats, chains and all. Some even members of the IRA & a couple of Black Panthers as well. Shot in Black & White.
