V 80. letech propadl metalu a všem jeho podobám. Od té doby vymetal všechny akce v pražských kulturácích i ilegální burzy s deskami, kde párkrát zažil i policejní šťáru. Z obalů a letáčků zahraničních kapel pak opisoval adresy, aby se spojil s oblíbenými kapelami. Pamětník Jakub Jodl přišel do Špíny zavzpomínat na dopisování s norskými blackmetalisty nebo na to, jak ho Euronymous pověřil spravovat tuzemskou pobočku slavného metalového labelu Deathlike Silence Czechoslovakia.

Diskuze s oteplovači je pokaždé zábavná a povědomí o tom, že klima si dělá, co chce, pomalu proniká i do české kotliny.

Two years ago, after a rather unpleasant interview process, I asked to be put on a do-not-contact register so I thought that I'd never have to hear from an Amazonian again, yet just like in the plot of Groundhog Day, here I am reading yet another email from an Amazon recruiter asking to talk to me about a possible opportunity. Will this horror never end?

Čtyři roky jsem žil v kosmopolitní společnosti plné různých národností a kultur, a se žádnou jsem nikdy neměl problém. Rasisté a xenofobové mi byli k smíchu a často jsem proti nim hrdě vystupoval svými tolerantními názory. Dokud jsem se nepřestěhoval zpátky do Prahy.
