For over 20 years, George Balasevic's songs have touched millions of people across the region of former Yugoslavia. Balasevic, sometimes described as the Yugoslav Bob Dylan, is popular not only for his independent political views but also because many of his lyrics celebrate a simpler, gentler past and touch on themes of everyday life for farmers and factory workers. During the war, Bosniaks, Croats, Serbs, Jews and others wept when listening to the 'Man with the moon in his eyes'. Perhaps the most powerful of Balasevic war-time songs. The majority of Djordje Balasevic's songs closely resemble the material he wrote for his previous albums, but he will be remembered as one of the bravest songwriters. As far back as 1992 he recorded a powerful track "Sloboda ne" ("Freedom, no") and in 2000 he triumphed with the album "Devedesete" ("The Nineties") and the hilarious song "Legenda o Gedi gluperdi" ("The Legend of Geda the Thickheaded Sod") Nevertheless, Rambo Amadeus remained absolutely the sharpest and the most persistent in putting up resistance. He became perhaps the most important and iconic music of the post-Yugoslav condition because he is a man who speaks his mind and does not mince words. His sharp uncompromising attitudes and wit won him popularity all over the former Yugoslavia and it's no wonder that he and his band were the first guests from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia who performed in Slovenia, Sarajevo, Pula and Zagreb.
