ROCK 'N' ROLL, not politics, changed the course of history!
Listening to rock music, that's a token of freedom
In the 1960s, everything was banned in the Czech Republic
But there was rock 'n' roll resounding in the hearts of freedom advocates
Passion for rock music, an unquenchable burning in man's heart,
will make a comeback and blare out at Myeongdong Theater in the winter of 2018
In the sound of rock, explosive and free
You will be freed from the oppression of reality
It’s Only ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
In turmoil during the 1960s
Jan, a Czech student, got hooked on rock music while studying in the UK
He turned his back on his mentor and his studies and returned to his hometown for Prague Spring
But flowers failed to bloom during the Prague Spring and only because he loved rock music, Winter came to Jan's life
A long winter of 20 years and the rock 'n' roll has never stopped
