• The beautiful and the sophisticated

  Pink Floyd

  14 June 2004

  The ultimate lovemark of my teenage years. For us kids and youth behind the Iron Curtain, Pink Floyd's music and poetry has been our secret way to remain sensitive and thinking people in times when being sensitive and thinking could mean persecution and repression. The refined magic worlds of Roger Waters, David Gilmour and the other genius guys from Pink Floyd have helped me and many of my friends grow to appreciate the beautiful and the sophisticated.

• Good laughs and the warmth

  Cheers

  "Cheers was filmed before a live studio audience". Do you remember this line? There was little knowledge (or feel, if you wish) of the American lifestyle in the Communist countries in Eastern Europe in the early 80's. Cheers was broadcasted in late hours on Bulgarian National Television and people would leave real bars in order to be home for the show. Good laughs and the warmth of simple human relationships - we've been in desperate deficit of those things in the days of the Cold War. Thank you, Cheers.
