Words and concepts are common denominators and not – as we'd wish and believe to – precise representations of something that's there to be objectively apprehended. Did We do live through and with words though, and even if we realize their subjectivity and 5 relativity it is only just that we should pay the closest attention to them and try to use them knowingly – as we can reasonably acknowledge that the world at large does not adhere to Nietzsche’s insight - we do relate words to facts and to expressions of reality.

  • The Plastic People of the Universe by Joseph Yanosik (March 1996)
    The Plastic People of the Universe by Joseph Yanosik (March 1996) The Plastic People of the Universe was the name of perhaps the greatest obscure rock band of all time and their incredible story ranks as one of the truest examples of artistic perseverance and art imitating life in the entire history of Rock and Roll. Formed in 1968 following the Soviet invasion of their beloved Czechoslovakia, the Plastic People of the Universe suffered immeasurably for their simple desire to make their own music. The story begins, of course, with the Beatles and 1964. It is imperative to understand that Beatlemania was not an isolated event limited to America and the United Kingdom. Young people throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union had their lives changed by John Lennon and the Beatles. Since the beginning of the Cold War, kids from the eastern side of the Iron Curtain had hungered for all things American as an escape from their cultural isolation. American jazz had served this purpose in the late 1940's through the fifties. The gates were then kicked open by Elvis and Bill Haley, but it was the Beatles who brought down the wall. The early to mid-sixties were undoubtedly an exciting time in Czechoslovakia. Jazz, both American and Czechoslovak, was enjoying a comeback after years underground. The Nazi party had abolished jazz upon its occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1938. Since 1945, however, the new Communist party had been more tolerant of jazz, specifically the classic Czechoslovak jazz. And now, boring, predictable socialist life under Communist rule was suddenly injected with a jolt of democracy in its purest form: rock and roll! Thousands of "garage" bands were born in Czechoslovakia in the mid-sixties; hundreds in Prague alone.

    A Visit to Prague A Visit to Prague CK In early June of 2005, I visited Prague to take part in the Prague Writers’ Festival. It was a very interesting and complicated time for me, which plucked the strings of much that has happened in the last forty years, so I decided to prepare a report. I’ll begun with some memories of how one of my bardic mentors impacted world history through a trip he made to Prague in the spring of 1965. The Impact of Allen Ginsberg On the Velvet Revolution of 1989-90 I remember how full of frisky joy Allen Ginsberg was when he was elected Kral Majales, or King of the May, by the young people of Prague in the spring of 1965. He had just been tossed out of Cuba for raising issues of homosexual harassment (plus, as I recall, he patted the derriere of the Minister of Culture at a party). Shortly after being paraded through the streets as Kral Majales, Ginsberg was seized by the secret police, ODSTO his personal diary was confiscated, and he was summarily expelled from what was then Czechoslovakia and shoved onto a flight to London where he met and partied with the Beatles. O Three years later, in August of 1968, I ran through a tear gas attack in Chicago with Ginsberg during the police riots at the Democratic Convention, when there were troops with fixed bayonets and tank-like armored personnel carriers in the streets. W Ironically, at the very same time there were Soviet tanks in the streets of Prague trying to squash the spirit of the Prague Spring.

  • It's Not Enough to Be Hidden Away in Some Church
    IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO BE HIDDEN AWAY IN SOME CHURCH Svatopluk Karásek (*1942) In an old interview for the magazine Reflex (18. 12. 2000), the Evangelical cleric and musician responded to a question relating to the issues of faith, preaching and political stance: “I always say that politics is essentially an aspect of faith, that we are responsible for the era in which we live. I also signed Charter. The very mild-mannered German theologian Dietrich Bonhöffer in the end got involved in the attack on Hitler and died in a concentration camp. He said he’d been dismayed by the fact that over 60 percent of Christians in Germany had voted for Hitler, even though those terrible anti-Jewish laws were already in place. After all, it’s not enough to be hidden away in some church, to say the Lord’s Prayer and to let on that I don’t have anything to do with what’s happening around me. I’m for Christians feeling responsibility and being engaged. On the other hand, the pulpit can be used extemporaneously in various ways. I experienced that in Switzerland, where many of my friends in the clergy were left-oriented. I sat there as a listener and suffered like an animal when they ventilated their leftist ideas. That’s something to be discussed at a table, where I can argue back. But when I’m sitting below, there’s nothing to but ball my hand into a fist. (…). I’m committed to politics. I regard it as very important.

    UNDERGROUND ELDER, PLASTIC PEOPLE SAXOPHONIST, POET AND GARDENER Vratislav Brabenec (*1943) Vratislav Brabenec was born on 28 April 1943 in Horní Počernice on the outskirts of Prague. His parents were clerks. After 1948 his father was forced to work in a factory before finding a job at the Ministry of Transport. His mother was musically gifted, a trait Vratislav inherited. From 13 he played clarinet and from 15 saxophone. He then progressed to tenor saxophone, which he performed at dances with his first “Communist youth” group, Akord. After elementary school he studied to be a gardener at the Secondary Agricultural School in Mělník. On graduating in 1961 he was placed in charge of looking after the greenery in Příbram, which he managed to stick at for 18 months. He later took care of several parks in Bohemian and Canada. He left for Prague at 18 and, influenced by his friendship with Svatopluk Karásek, whom he had known since 1960, enrolled at the Comenius Evangelical Theological Faculty.
