Description
In this memoir, artist, lyricist, enfant terrible of Czech folk music, singer-songwriter, rocker and founder and longtime frontman of the band Extempore Jaroslav Jeroným Neduha recounts his eventful life and the interesting and malicious people he has encountered. His story stretches from childhood in the erotically charged hospital ghetto of Motol through discovering the world in 1968 and 1969, personal and artistic failures and joys, exile in Vienna, returns and escapes, to the present day, which he hopes is not yet an ending but a chance to finish, draw, perform, write, see and experience more. This extensive and varied memoir describes encounters with many wonderful and appalling people over seventy years, recalls the adventures and dreary tedium of life under normalization, and portrays an endless struggle against stupidity and evil, both before and after the Velvet Revolution. The book is supplemented with numerous unique period documents, a discography and an index.
