Kad Miki kaže da se boji: Prilozi za biografiju Johnnyja B. Štulića

Kruno Petrinović

The book about Johnny Štulić, the cult frontman of Azra, called "Additions to the biography of Johnny B. Štulić", which was worked on by the same team related to the film "When Miki says he's afraid" (the author of the book, Kruno Petrinović, is the co-sc

The book contains the testimonies of about forty heroes of Azra's songs. A collage of memories of Štulić's contemporaries, acquaintances and collaborators, many of whom he dedicated songs to and their experience of the rock star who moved in their company. The book with the subtitle "How the sexual revolution, drugs, rock'n'roll, anarchists and Azra appeared in Zagreb" apparently also served as a screenplay template for the film "When Miki says he's afraid".

If you have already seen the film, then some of the stories from this book will already be familiar to you, such as those about Štulić's friends, the anarchist Đoki, Dragan Konstantinović-Dragi, who went through all the formations of his Balkan sevdah band with Štulić, and today he is a dentist, or the one about Velimir Čerić-Čera, the main character from the generational manifesto, the song Smart and bookish people, with whom Štulić stood in the Little Caucasus in the mid-seventies and 'discovered the world'.

Among the things that are not mentioned in the film, we learn that Draga Mlinarec, who produced Azra's first album, has an acoustic recording of fifteen of Johnny's compositions from 1979, but Mlinarec does not want to give it to anyone, not even for listening. , but intends to send the recording to Johnny as a 70th birthday present.

Furthermore, there is an explanation of how Štulić got the nickname Johnny after the comic book hero Johnny Panther...

What is an invaluable asset of this book are the excellent photographs, 205 of them to be exact, never before published and taken by today's famous photographers or borrowed from the private albums of Johnny's friends, and among them is Johnny's doppelganger taken on Silba, an island that in the middle until the late 70's it was the mecca of many musicians, and where Johnny met his fatal muses Suzi F. from Vienna and the painter Gracija Pedić from Rijeka.
