The requirement for this afternoon was something fun that was marginally related to my work.  So Em and I went to the pop muzeum, an organization motivated by Czech pop music scholarship godfather Aleš Opekar, who I interviewed in 2002 about country, etc. &#8230; and it just happens to be in our Praha 6 [...]]]></description>
