The clubs were much quieter in those days. There was live music; various bands came to clubs.  Music had to be, checked, as well; I used to make huge charts with Romanian songs; we should have 10% foreign songs and 90% Romanian songs. On paper. In reality, the copyright was sent to them through the Composers? Union, but their songs were never sung.

The jazz nights were very elevated. They were at least once a month, but we had periods when these were held weekly. Johnny Raducanu and Mircea Tiberian could not miss from such a night. The artists were not as mercantile as now.

The nights at the theatre were wonderful too, the nights at the ?Podul? Theatre, which still works, under the guidance of Catalin Naum. Weekly, we had to send the program of the Culture House to be approved. After the president of the Communist Students? Association signed it, we had to go to the Party Students? Center. Weekly, we had to have politic actions; we also ha to hold political education meetings, but there was none. We had about two check-up-s, but we said that we held them two hours before, because people had concerts in the evening. Nobody believed us, but they would not chop our head either. We played Shakespeare, Becket etc. In the playbill, it appeared as: theatre ?night?. As opening ? eulogy brought to our beloved leader (poetry)?. I do not remember to have ever held this opening, but we were always praised for the initiative.? (P. P., 151)

As to the subversive texts I was a member of two groups: ? Ars Amatoria?, which I joined later, not from the beginning, and ?Divertis?, in the same category. ? Ars Amatoria? was a group that wrote satirical texts, for instance ? 100 years at the gates of Orient?.  It was the first group that wrote literature, even theatre plays, staged at Cluj. The late Radu G. Teposu, George Tara, Iona Buduca and Ioan Grosan, the first violin, were all part of the group.  Lucian Persa, too. We wrote parodies together.

We wrote a series of texts, a whole page for a newspaper, comprising many subversive things during the University Games in 81. We were attacked then by the official press. Famous poems were parodied, which angered the official press. For instance, a parody of Caragiale. It happened on the stadium 23^rd of August, when Sotomayor jumped; the radio station played a song of Dolanescu by mistake. We wrote about it , thinking how different newspapers could have presented this piece of news. So attacks came from everywhere.
