Russian president or not, Dmitry Medvedev loves Deep Purple, and after hosting the band at his home yesterday, the leader admitted that he “could never imagine that one day [he] would sit at the same table with them.”
Like a fanboy at a meet-and-greet, Medvedev welcomed the band by blasting a clip of one of their tracks, and then later watched as his 15-year-old son embarked on a Deep Purple jam session.
The president was also presented with a set of drumsticks from the band, which we can only assume he will use to one-up his son’s position as the group’s newest member. [via Spinner]
