I was in Czech Republic 4 times (I am the musician, not the singer) played
in there in AghaRTA Jazz Centrum in Prague. The time when I came there by train from Germany, we
changed trains in Nurnberg, traveling with my friend Akio from Japan - when we came to CHEB, the
passport control came on the train, he stamped my USA passport - he had a wooden box he was wearing,
when he took Akio's Japan passport, he opened the stupid box and put Akio's passport in and said in a
broken English "You must get off the train" - and they took my friend away! Long story, but they shook
him down for money after terrorizing him speaking only in Czech. He joined me in Prague on Boatel in
the river next day, and we made some action there in a music fair. When we went back to Germany on the
train, the same sob was just waiting, and they took him again! And then, there was the time we almost
got stuck in Teplice! (another story) - I don't think will be going back there again any time soon! -
you can see in 2nd photo when we changed trains in Nurnberg bahnhof - I bought some batteries for my
camera there, not my favorite place! Akio, beautiful guy - terrible experience in CHEB
