Cane on music, architecture, law

Mark your calendars. On 28 June, Chuck Berry is playing in Zagreb (why is he continuing to tour at this old age? ask the person who negotiated his recording contracts all those years ago), and the Partibrejkersi are opening. After which it is on to Maribor. All of which is a fine pretext for Zoran Kostić Cane to give an interview to Blic, in which he engages in a bit of Belgrade architectural criticism:

"Only the bare walls are left. Because, people make the city. Still, Belgrade has recovered from many occupiers, and it will see these ones out too. And a new time will bring some new people. The spirit of the city is indestructible. It will come to the surface again. But, that new commercial building on the Terazije plateau is a filthy and fetid attack on the city and its centuries of history. The view will be cut off, and the center filled with the stench of sick ambitions!"

He also backs off from an earlier threat to sue finance minister Mladjan Dinkić for unauthorised use of his line "one call changes everything" from the nadasve anthological song "1000 godina." Probably a sensible decision.
