Po dvoch koncertoch za uplynulý víkend na ktorých sa v Bratislave predstavili legendy svetového alternatívneho/avantgardného rocku - menovite THE RESIDENTS a LEGENDARY PINK DOTS, si dáme ešte porciu od českej vlajkovej lode psychdelicko-undergroundovej muziky - THE PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Ich jednostranná kazeta Hundred points vyšla v roku 1980 na americkom labely Eurock. Na svojej web-stránke stručne komentuje jej realizáciu priamo vydavateľ:
"A bit earlier in late 1979, early 1980, I began my own Eurock cassette label. The first release was a tape smuggled out of Czechoslovakia via Canada recorded by the illegal band Plastic People of the Universe whose leader was then in jail. It was called the Hundred Points. That was the first release on the label released which was followed by a series of original recordings by various other international artists from France, USA, etc..."
Lyrics:
They fear the old because of their memory
They fear the young because of their innocence
They even fear schoolchildren
They fear the dead and their funerals
They fear the graves and flowers which people put on those graves
They fear the church, priests and nuns
They fear the workers
They fear the Party members
They fear the non – party members
They fear science
They fear art
They fear poems and books
They fear theatre plays and movies
They fear records and cassettes
They fear writers and poets
They fear journalists
They fear actors and sculptors
They fear painters and singers
They fear radio stations
They fear television satellites
They fear the free flow of information
They fear foreign literature and newspapers
They fear the scientific progress
They fear Xerox prints
They fear typewriters
They fear letters
They fear telephones
They fear letting people out (of the country)
They fear letting people in
They fear the left wing
They fear the right wing
They fear the departure of Soviet troops
They fear the changes in Moscow
They fear disarmament
They fear the contracts they signed
They fear their own signatures
They fear their own police
They fear the cops
They fear because of the cops
They fear chess players
They fear tennis players
They fear hockey players
They fear gymnasts
They fear saint Václav
They fear Jan Hus
They fear all the saints
They fear the snacks/gifts from saint Mikuláš (he's like eastern Santa Claus)
They fear the baby Jesus
They fear statues with backpacks on their backs
They fear archives
They fear historians
They fear economists
They fear sociologists
They fear philosophers
They fear physicists
They fear doctors
They fear political prisoners
They fear the families of political prisoners
They fear todays evening
They fear tomorrows morning
They fear today and everyday
They fear the future
They fear the past
They fear heart attacks and cirrhosis
They even fear the slight trace of conscience which maybe remained in them
They fear the streets
They fear their own castle ghettos
They fear their own families
They fear their own relatives
They fear their former friends and comrades
They fear their current friends and comrades
They fear each other
They fear the things they said
They fear the things they wrote
They fear they will lose their status
They fear both water and fire
They fear both wet and dry
They fear the snow
They fear the wind
They fear both freeze and heat
They fear noise and silence
They fear the light and the dark
They fear both joy and sadness
They fear jokes
They fear fairness
They fear honesty
They fear the educated
They fear the talented
They fear Marx
They fear Lenin
They fear all of our dead presidents
They fear the truth
They fear the freedom
They fear democracy
They fear The declaration of human rights
They fear socialism
SO WHY ARE WE AFRAID OF THEM?
