A unique memoir by the legendary singer and acclaimed existential psychotherapist.
Dan Horyna - rock legend of the eighties with the inseparable nickname Zeppelin. Frontman of metal bands Vitacit and Merlin. Before he was a rock star, he was a talented athlete.
He was the national champion in the 1500 metres, he was aiming for the Olympics, but he ended up quitting athletics. He still wasn't satisfied with himself - he wanted more. At only seventeen, his wings were clipped by the communist prison, where he ended up for an impromptu performance on the Charles Bridge, which was judged to be a provocation of the communist regime.
Although Horyna was released two months later, he remained in the police's crosshairs. After returning from prison, he was expelled from school and lost all the security he had until then. Gradually, he got hooked on drugs, which brought him to the brink of life and death several times over the course of twelve years. The charismatic singer belonged to the first meth generation in the Czech Republic. He has battled the drug demon a total of three times and three marriages have broken up because of drugs. He found his way out of drug addiction thanks to his stay in the Červený Dvůr treatment centre, which helped him in his search for the meaning of life.
Today, he has been a sought-after therapist for over ten years, professing Buddhism and successfully helping drug and alcohol addicts.
