【國際禁歌🇨🇿】捷克地下樂團：「他們害怕一切，為甚麼我們要怕？」
🕑 Added 2021-07-17 13:02:00 +0000 UTC看見一位同路人為同路人打氣，引述了以下一段來自冷戰時代，鐵幕捷克斯洛伐克的搖滾樂團的歌詞：
「他們害怕老人的記憶， 害怕年輕人的思想， 害怕墓地的鮮花， 害怕工人，害怕教堂， 害怕所有的快樂時光。 他們害怕電影，害怕畫家， 害怕音樂家，害怕石塊和雕塑， 他們害怕電台，害怕技術， 害怕信息自由流動， 害怕所有的波長， 那麼我們為什麼要怕他們？」
印象中，這段歌詞看過不少次，其實以上只是1/10的節錄。創作歌曲的來自捷克地下樂團「宇宙膠人」(The Plastic People of the Universe)，屬於當時捷克首屈一指的地下搖滾樂隊，成員多達數十名，因為歌詞不時被指「顛覆政權」，成員不是被政權拘捕、下獄，哈維爾也曾為其聲援。
以上歌詞節錄，來自以下《The Hundred Points》，刊登自1977年的《國際社會主義期刊》，每一點都是說「他們」害怕什麼、「他們」害怕什麼，今天看來，確實很中。害怕老人的記憶，青年的朝氣，已死的烈士，教會、書本、藝術、科學，電話、電視，左派、右派、自己的家人、朋友、同事、下屬，快樂、悲傷、誠實、理想。假如一個社會，就是產生這些「害怕一切」的人，還有什麼希望？但正是這樣的社會，又何須懼怕？
