Pro lásku Boží započatou

Ivan Jirous, poet-dissident and manager of the Plastic People of the Universe. It is entirely possible I would not have known of his existence if I had not seen Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll at the Huntington Theatre in 2008. But I fell in love with the play, so I tracked down a copy of Ach to státu hanobení (1976) and now I'm sorry he's gone. If he did not exist, it really would have been necessary for Stoppard to invent him.
