"It was through an event somewhere in the Czech Republic. Somewhere not far from Lipnice. That was good too. They asked me what was going on there. The accustics were so bad that no one heard anything there. I didn't even lie because I didn't really understand anything there and I didn't know who was playing. Some of the interrogations were funny and some were quite dramatic. The most dramatic was in the Old Town below Landštejn. Not an interrogation, but a tough police intervention. It was in the barn on the farm. The city is located right on the Austrian border. Festivals were shown there. There were a lot of people there. We arrived there with my son, who was about four years old. There was also Jirous, who was under protective surveillance at the time. As it was at the border, on one side of the barn stood soldiers with submachine guns and dogs, and on the other side were cops with secret policemen. But no one was aware of the fact that one of them was among us. As they pounded on the gate, their connection opened the door for them. Well, it cleaned up. Jirous was lucky, because it was as if people were counting on it and his friends surrounded him and, as if in some grotesque, led him to the cellar, so they could not find him. But again, they took the boy who was projecting the slides there just to get something out of it at least. Then he arrived the next day after his release, and he was threatened that if he did not speak at the interrogation, his wife would be told that he cheated on her with whores."
