1968年布拉格之春的主要主題曲，竟然是Beatles的《Hey Jude》，因歌手Marta Kubisova翻唱而響徹了整個國家。捷克版的改編不再圍繞父親在離婚後的叮嚀，歌詞變得更貼近那個時代的語境：
//Hey Jude，甚麼弄哭了你？
紅着眼又淚盈眶？
除了這份最後的小禮物，便一無所有
你識得幾首歌，它們會伴你度過
Hey Jude，他愛着你。
用歌唱出來會容易一些。
在所有曲終韻結之處，
那裡有一個我們遺下的影子。
這個世界美麗，這個世界邪惡。
Hey Jude，請相信他。
天賦讓他有更多的傷痕，
在傷口上灑鹽，又折斷其撐杆，
世界就這樣統治我們。
這樣滾壓我們。
不不不不不不不不不！
Hey Jude，這是你的歌。
當我唱時，你擘大眼，
而你安靜謙卑地輕哼着，
然後整個場廳都只屬你一個。
所以你來這裡，讓我去那裡。
Hey Jude，我得到
你的門票，去那我只見到少少的地方。
我僅僅只能聆聽和隱藏羞愧，
Hey Jude，神才知道，為何你唱得更好，
而我並不妒忌。
Hey Jude，你知道，
我雙眼通紅，也許是有東西入了去。
這就是它在你口中動聽的原因，
因為你唱盡了整個世界的苦難。//
同年，搖滾樂隊宇宙塑料人誕生了，它亦是未來捷克總統哈維爾最喜歡的一隊Band，他的《七七憲章》的靈感也是源自他們的歌，「活在真實裡」的概念便是出自主音的其中一篇文章。時間來到1976年，或許是秘密警察發現樂隊成員密見哈維爾等知識分子，加上樂隊的創作愈來愈放肆，蘇共開始大清算捷克樂壇，廿多個成員齊齊被捕。
另一個被捕原因，是這年他們發表了一張很特別的專輯《Ach To Státu Hanobení》，意思是「那個誹謗的國度」。當中有一首歌叫《100 Bodů》，用整整20分鐘反覆唱着同一範句諷刺蘇共當局，來鋪陳出最後那著名的一句：咁點解我哋要驚佢哋？

他們害怕老因為他們的記憶，他們害怕年輕因為他們的天真，他們害怕死屍和他們的葬禮，他們害怕墓碑和放在墓上的鮮花；他們害怕教堂，害怕工人，害怕黨員，害怕非黨員，害怕科學，害怕藝術，害怕詩書，害怕戲劇……害怕自己的警察，害怕因為警察，害怕街頭，害怕政治犯，害怕政治犯的家人，害怕笑話，害怕公正，害怕誠實，害怕馬克思，害怕真相，害怕自由，害怕民主，害怕人權宣言，害怕社會主義……這不就是中共的寫照嗎？
搖滾精神之死，全因歌手們已不再唱得出這種的歌，他們在錄音室對極權歌功頌德，因為他們害怕。SO WHY ARE WE AFRAID OF THEM? 以前的人比較有骨氣，還是現在的自由比以前還要少？
往後的日子，請不要停止歌唱。讓信仰在歌中飄揚。
