E X A M P L E S DRAGAN NIKOLIĆ (1943-2016), BELGRADE’S “LAST GREAT ONE” AND A BETTER WORLD THAT LEFT WITH HIM To Be a Light “Even today I don’t know what that means. What is a star? How do you become one? It’s probably in the awareness of other people. I’ve really never given myself the luxury to think I’m a star, that I’m the best or great in any way. I believe no one will be offended if I say this: I think it’s a feature of fools – believing you’re someone else” By: Mišo Vujović Photo: Željko Sinobad, Mile Jelesijević, “National Review” Archive, “Merkur” Archive All this today was unreal and far away. Both the war and the things worse than it. After the war. The children of the guardians of communism and their offspring evolved from red bourgeoisie into newly-born elite and tycoons, powerful and arrogant. Everything changed except UDBA and the syndicate. They are still “agitating”, but no one knows for whom?! We have never even thought that, stumbling on unpicked strawberries, we would become feather collectors on the dump of transition, into which truck drivers, singing “All I want in this moment...”, drive us to the gray home, where sad musicians with Burduš without a homeland greet us, while in the corner, the written off are thinking of a new action against notorious Krieger... It was a time of more than a game, more than a careless childhood, a time of small sorrows and great joys, a time that gave birth to great people in sports, music, film, theater. A time that had role models of the street, kafana, movie, ring, microphone... It was a time of originals, genuine idols, smoothies, charming “rascals” in light blue jeans and Beatle haircut, built-up bombardiers with a soft heart, attractive chicks with the scent of intractable life, curvy housewives with deep necklines in colored gowns; it was a surreal time of the pavement with street palaces of justice and courthouses. Even besides one TV station and one unified opinion (some murmured in low voice, following a directive, as bait for hidden enemies), we had meaningful extracurricular mischiefs... From hiding the bicycle of the fourth floor neighbor’s lover, to banknotes thrown on the pavement, tied with a thin fishing thread, which we pulled each time someone would bend down to pick them 62 SRBIJA • BROJ <strong>54</strong> • 2016.
