Chuck Berry's banter with audiences and duck walk was one of the things that <mask> was influenced by.

He frequently does his own version of Chuck Berry's duck walk, as well as a "spasm" during which he throws himself to the ground, kicking, shaking, and spinning in circles while playing the guitar.

George told <mask> that if he ever tripped over his guitar cable, he should keep playing. <mask> included a striptease as part of a mid-show ritual, during which he slowly took off his schoolboy outfit, running across the stage to elicit cheers from the audience, climaxing in a "mooning" gesture to expose his underwear.

texts: Count Istvn <mask> et Szeged was a Hungarian politician. The most important part of his second term as prime minister was the outbreak of World War One. His life was cut short when he was killed on October 31, 1918, when Hungary declared its independence and Austria-Hungary dissolved. <mask> was in favor of the maintenance of Austria-Hungary. He was the most ardent adherent of the dual monarchy and the partnership with Austria among the Hungarian political leaders. He realized how the Emperor's temper and the revolutionary spirit of the extremists led to a complete impasse when he was a Member of Parliament. <mask> was against the redistribution of agricultural land, and he was against giving soldiers who fought on the frontlines the right to vote.He was an opponent of Anti-Semitism and supported reforms in the industry aimed at modernizing Hungary. He was concerned that Anti-Semitism could endanger Hungary's economic development. Istvn <mask>'s father Klmn <mask> relied on the political support of ethnic minorities during the parliamentary elections because of public perception that he was unpopular among ethnic Hungarian voters. Otto von Bismarck was <mask>'s role model. As an economist, he followed the English historical school of economics, and as a political scientist, he was influenced by the social and political development of England. The son of Klmn <mask> deBorosjen, who served as prime minister of Hungary between 1875 and 1890 from the Liberal Party, was born into the Tisza family. The Calvinists of lower noble origins were called the Tiszas.His mother was a member of the Degenfeld-Schonburg family. The young Istvn was raised in
