Raimo Aas
Radio career
Raimo Aas performed together with Margus Lepa in the Sunday morning radio programme Meelejahutaja for several years.
Performance prohibition
Aas was subject to a six-month Soviet prohibition of public performance for singing, on the tune of Pust' vsegda budet solnce (Russian for "May there always be sunshine"; Estonian: Olgu jääv meile päike), lyrics that can be translated as "May there always be sunshine, may there always be smoked sausages". The performance was deemed as insulting to Soviet youth.
Awards
In 1999, Raimo Aas was awarded the Meie Mats award for lifelong work in humour.

gollark: This is madness. It's not safe to meddle with nature like this.
gollark: -9999 what?
