When I was a child,​

​

watching  the television was boring becase most programs were involved in the government's propaganda. It wan't until I was 9 that I watched a program broadcast outside of my country. It was an MTV program. John Bon Jovi was singing aloud in it. His shouts, his voice. I got a shock like a thunder stroke. I saved money and bought a guitar. I was always looking for something fun. I grew my hair, like my favorite rock stars did back then, while wearing  a cap to hide it so that the teachers who believe that growing hair  wouldn't detect it. I wanted to know what is allowed in my society, and what's not, by breaking small rules.

I'm still wondering if I could gather friends who spent  good time with, play a session and just chill out as we did in those days, even though we can't repeat the past.
