The video mentioned above, and the song itself - "Johnny" is inspired by a book by serbian writer Milorad Pavic "The Dictionary Of The Khazars"... The song was written about 6 years ago... We were watching last draft of the video on Nov 30 when the news of Pavic's death came through... How sad and a bit ironic...
It seems that this writer is not widely known , he quite avant-garde, amazing storyteller that utilizes interactive concepts. That what i would call progressive literature... "The Dictionary Of The Khazars" is his most influential and monumental work... It IS a dictionary, in terms of organization of the book, and that gives a reader an opportunity to read the book in different sequence from article to article, thus opening a new meaning every time... I find it somewhat akin to progressive rock... he also wrote novels-crosswords, plays a-la carte with tree opening one main and three closing acts so the director could choose whether it will be a comedy or a tragedy.
Check him out - you won't be dissapointed, if you dig that kinda stuff.
