Where once Rock kept the flame of resistance against Communist Dictatorship burning, now it's being mobilised to keep apathy at bay, least the reformed Communists win big in the forthcoming Czech elections.
With only a few days to go before the Czech Republic's parliamentary elections, popular Czech rock bands played a free concert in Prague with a political message: get out
and vote. The organizers gave the event a Russian name -- "Nikagda
Nezabudem," or Never Forget -- as a warning that voter apathy could mean a
disproportionately strong showing for the country's Communist Party, driven
from power in 1989.
