EP66 Rock n Roll during Communism and Keith Richard’s drawing a p3nis! - Paul Kowacz (Red Baron Band)

Paul Kowacz lives in the world of music in Prague, he plays guitar for Red Baron Band that he formed in 1993 as well as a band called 333.   Paul is also an avid Vinyl collector with a personal collection of 8000 albums and counting! His passion for collecting led him to start buying and selling used vinyls from all over the world.  The vinyl is making a comeback!  And he told me how his Sticky Fingers album went from being worth 200 EUR to 2000 EUR when he met Keith Richards in Prague. We talked about how it was to be a music fan during the communist era when certain music was not considered appropriate, everything was on the black market and how that created communities based on trust and mutual interest.  But were there some positive sides to communism? We discussed many other things including how Paul can play guitar solos with the guitar behind his back and neck! (it is true, I have seen it).   Who were his idols? Who changed music?  Is Rock and Roll dead? http://redbaronband.cz/ https://www.333band.cz/ https://www.facebook.com/Agentura-Music-69-321418161235629 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpP_iZVIcvQJ5eVKq4kNZkw
