Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello

Eugene Hütz from Gogol Bordello joins Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast for a wide-ranging, no-filter conversation on music, identity, and the state of the world. Eugene breaks down the real history behind the word "gypsy," how misinformation spreads, and why critical thinking feels like it's disappearing. He also shares his perspective on growing up in the Soviet Union, the war in Ukraine, and what it means to stand your ground in chaotic times.

We get into the evolution of punk rock, why creativity used to come from boredom (and what replaced it), and how modern culture is overloaded with noise but starving for meaning. Eugene talks about building Gogol Bordello out of pure chaos, playing unhinged live shows, and why music isn't something you "approach".
