Description
The authorized biography of Ivan Král, the most famous Czech rock musician, takes you on an incredible journey into the 1970s and the heart of the cultural revolution, when punk and garage music were emerging in New York. Together, you visit legendary clubs, ride through the city in John Lennon’s psychedelic Rolls-Royce, encounter Patti Smith offering cocaine, Iggy Pop crying on your shoulder and calling people idiots, and David Bowie acting as a guide to the nightlife. Yet Ivan Král’s story remains, paradoxically, that of a well-brought-up boy from Smíchov who always loved Semafor Theatre and the band Olympic and wanted to write songs people would enjoy. Unlike others who openly struggled with their musical demons, the sober and “slightly strange” Ivan Král always had plenty of finished songs ready to be sung and recorded, which is often how his hits came about. The contents are in Czech.
