It is our greatest poet, he died in 1980. He sang his poems to the guitar, but I wouldn't call him singer-songwriter, because, although his performance was great, absolutely unique, and he was an outstanding theater/cinama actor, too, he was a Poet first and foremost, the best I know although God as my witness, I've loved poetry since a very little cub and would have audacity to say I know what I am talking about.
What he did to our people was incomparable to anything I know in the cultural history of mankind: he told us the truth about ourselves, and in those twilight years of the late Socialism helped us to remain people, to preserve our dignity and not to let die that flame that is inside every soul however hard the authorities want to smother it.
