No one sells records anymore. People just go online. I do it because, for me, I love it. A: We had a big time in Washington. Donald invited Sly and I to the inauguration. I was gonna go, but it was too crazy, too locked down.
But Washington is too crazy. Every pundit has been wrong since Day 1. It would be great for everyone to grow up like I grew up, where everyone had a job.
It would be nice for everybody. I think it would be nice for everyone to get back to work. Get rid of homelessness. People could work. A: My brother might be working on a program with him to help the homecoming vets to get jobs. You got guys that served in the war that are eating out of trash cans. He really is. Very personable.

One of his creations, called ' Improvements in or relating to Calculating Devices Particularly Applicable for Use in Connection with Typewriters', was patented in Britain on May 11, Rose and Charles had apparently left Odessa, then part of the Tsarist Russian empire, suddenly.
Rose, whose maiden name was Lamlec, was from a well-to-do Jewish family in the city. Accounts suggest that her father was killed in a blaze that erupted at his warehouse where, among other commodities, he stored silks and other fabrics as well as soaps imported from China. Arson was suspected. Charles seems to have been a leading representative of Singer, the sewing machine company, and the family lived extremely well. Even their children had their own servants. However, Rose's family, along with other Jews, became a target for unrest in the Odessa pogrom of The Tsar's secret police tacitly sided with forces seeking to stir up ethnic tension.
Marina, who has studied the family's sudden departure from the city, adds: 'Rose seems to have got very scared for herself and her young family and decided that their only course of action was to flee to America. Even the children had their own servants. Residential records from the 19th Century, seen by both Jackie Stallone and Kravchenko, show that before their flight, Rose's family had been living on Staroportofrankoskaya Street, one of the most prestigious thoroughfares in Odessa, where they owned numbers seven, nine and Kravchenko - born in when Stalin ruled the Soviet Union - lived at number five Staroportofrankoskaya Street during his childhood, suggesting that, remarkably, the family may have owned a number of other properties in the street and retained rights to them despite all the upheavals and turmoil of revolution.
The records also show that it is Kravchenko's paternal grandmother, Yevdokia, who was the common ancestor providing the link to the actor. Yevdokia was a blood relative of Rose through her maternal line. Kravchenko, a man with enormous drive, is himself a multi-millionaire, though, like many tycoons in the former Soviet Union, he declines to go into details of the exact scale of his riches.
Sylvester does it his own way, I do it my way, in business. I was just born lucky to be a good businessman - maybe it's a blood thing. Rocked by Rocky: Viktoria, left, and Svetlana were amazed to learn they were related to Sylvester Stallone.
Stallone's other relatives in Odessa are Kravchenko's daughters Svetlana, 29, and Viktoria, Kravchenko and the girls' mother, Valentina, have separated and he has a new partner.
His younger daughter Viktoria, who works as a director with one of her father's companies, says: 'I am very proud to discover that we are related to Sylvester Stallone. When I first found out, I was in shock and my friends couldn't believe it either. I remember saying it to Dad at the time, but he just laughed. Before she came I thought she would be like any American, with zero sense of humour, but she gave me some great tips on where to travel and to shop, and we chatted just as girlfriends.
Despite her age, she is so energetic and active. Meanwhile, Sylvester Stallone, 62, is delighted by the discovery of his Russian family. The actor, who is currently filming another all-action movie in Rio de Janeiro, has revealed that he is planning a pilgrimage to Odessa to meet his long-lost relatives during the summer. When he arrives, he will also be given the results of detailed research carried out by the Kiev-based St Stanislav Order, a nobility organisation that claims to have established other Stallone family links in Ukraine.
The Hollywood star says: 'I am intrigued about my Russian roots and I look forward to travelling to Odessa. My mother has told me all about what she has discovered and the people she has met. So thanks to Odessa. He jokingly apologises for Rambo, and adds: 'As for Rocky, I was always interested in the conflict of two individuals and two ideologies.
I can tell you how I made each of my millions - but not where I got the very first. Jackie says: 'Valery is one of us. He looks similar to Sylvester, especially around the mouth and his eyes, but more than that, he is like a carbon copy of us in his character and whole behaviour pattern - he is a survivor, like myself, Sylvester and my other son Frank.
It's the same with Sylvester and Frank - and with Valery. They will just stand up and restore themselves and their business and get successful again.
Kravchenko is no longer involved in the oil industry. For six years from the early Nineties, he was a business partner of Russian oligarch Alexander Zhukov, father of Daria Zhukova, the art dealer, clothes designer and girlfriend of Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich. I remember meeting her in a restaurant when she was 15 - she was very pretty and always smiling. He has yet to meet Stallone, though they have spoken on the telephone.
It's hard to believe how full of energy she is. If we need to walk up the stairs, she's always ahead of me and I need to rush to catch up with her. She is truly inspiring. When Stallone does travel to Odessa this summer, it can safely be assumed that the mood will be somewhat more conciliatory than in his trademark movies.
The next time he meets a Russian, he is likely to embrace him, not erase him. No comments have so far been submitted.
