I was just wondering... 🤔
The most significant battles are actually fought during times of peace.

I believe it will be a success. Though, whether it can actually surpass "Oh, My People," I find difficult to say for certain. What truly warms my heart, however, is the fact that he intends to weave history into these new tracks. When I heard that he dedicated one song to diva Grabovcev, I was genuinely moved by the sentiment. Through that melody, he will introduce a wide audience to the story and the legacy of a noble girl who sacrificed her life rather than renounce her faith in Christ during the era of the Ottoman occupation.

Corrupt souls and broken clocks
The young producer at NBC, Peter Stefanic, is certainly a quick study when it comes to picking up the cues from his more seasoned liberal colleagues. At the start of last night’s soccer segment, while greeting two ministers—Primac and Kirin—the participants of the discussion, he noted, with a sort of whistleblowing glee, twice over, that they had come to the studio straight from a Thompson concert. Primac, looking much like someone caught red-handed with their hand in the cookie jar, tried to play it off like a child, claiming they were actually at a charity concert that "passed with dignity," mentioning Thompson only as the final act in a long lineup. I have to wonder: why would attending a Thompson concert be considered improper for anyone, let alone government ministers? Is it because of those lingering, unproven allegations about singing questionable songs at some private party? It is almost comical how this standard of "political indecency"—a relic surely inherited from the communist era—is applied, given the fact that Thompson is a massive cultural icon who serves as a much more compelling alternative for the liberal establishment than the outdated Bijelo dugme. This same circle seems to suffer a sudden bout of amnesia whenever a singer from the North America with a heavy chauvinistic history visits the country—take Bob Dylan, for instance, or even Billy Joel, given certain past associations. I simply cannot help myself from saying it again: it is nothing but corrupt souls and broken clocks moving toward the left.
