Analogs of Vysotsky

[Jules Levin]

Everyone is looking for American equivalents...
Would someone explain to me why "Brezhnev responded to Vysotsky" is 
saying something
good about Vysotsky?   It reminds me of those pins showing Nixon and 
Elvis together.  I was there at the time (i.e., alive and conscious 
then) and I never thought it was saying anything positive about either one.
By the way, apropo of nothing, Hitler liked dogs.

Los Angeles (where I saw Vysotsky perform for immigrants at a hall in 
the late 80's-early 90's.--he said, looks like half of Moscow is 
here...someone called out "the better half"--ozhivlenie v zale.
