Napřeskáčku 2 - Nejen hudební vzpomínky z Klubu osamělých srdcí seržanta Pepře / 2010-2014 – Černý Jiří (2022)

When the name Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club is mentioned, both fans of the famous Beatles album from 1967 and listeners of Czech Radio know exactly what it refers to. Under this title, a regular weekly program by music journalist Jiří Černý was broadcast from 2005 to 2019, allowing listeners to glimpse into his private life and the behind-the-scenes of his work through short memories interspersed with songs. In this second selection of comments, this time from 2010 to 2014, he reminisces about his childhood, interesting events he participated in, and especially the people he met. As the title of the book suggests, he does not do this according to a predetermined schedule, but rather randomly, as the songs played inspired him and one memory triggered another. In the book, you will again meet musicians, athletes, presidents, but also gardeners, librarians, teachers, or listeners and organizers of Černý's listening programs. You will learn what T. G. Masaryk and Petr Skoumal had in common; who invented the word 'radio'; what food Jiří Černý wished for after swimming 3,800 meters, cycling 180 kilometers, and running a marathon in one day; what song he played before interrogations by State Security; and why Václav Havel signed their private correspondence...
