Opowiada również o muzyce, ale nie o taniej, popularnej, lecz o muzyce z przekazem, gdzie tekst często bywał wskazówką i radą. Tekst, który zrywał maskę obłudy z zakłamanego świata. W tej książce i zdarzenia, i ludzie są autentyczni, a poruszane problemy wciąż aktualne. Michał „Czarny” Krzywak krakowski załogant lat 90., poeta, wolnościowiec, miłośnik Krakowa
