{964}{1089} Once upon a time...
{1090}{1196}You can see the turmoil a blond woman |appearing at the Prague airport can cause,
{1208}{1308}if she comes |directly from Sweden.
{1491}{1591} And if her name is Marie and |her partner is called Per,
{1608}{1708} you know they are parts of a |success story in music business.
{1784}{1909} So, for now,| Roxette are in Prague.
{1894}{1969}A cowd of fans |is following them,
{1945}{1970}taking photographs ...
{1991}{2041}...| in the rain.
{2370}{2520} The crowd at the airport has |not yet reached the stadium,
{2476}{2601}...| so it's still quiet here.
{2531}{2631} And outside as well,| becase the gathering is just about to begin.
{2639}{2764} You just have to wait - and |maybe you can even touch them.
{2744}{2869} Or at least see them. And maybe only from |a distance. But anyway, it is worth it.
{2878}{2954} Inside the stadium,| they are setting up the stage.
{2954}{3028} It's a careful process.
{3009}{3059} Well, we are talking |about professionals.
{3059}{3122} Or at least they |look like that...
{3141}{3291}They make sure everything |works fine during the concert.
{3573}{3635} Outside of the stadium,| time gets a new dimension.
{3642}{3815}Rumours spread in the crowd that the |trucks carrying equipment are in delay.
{3812}{4062} And you have to admit that without all |those accessories, there's no concert.
{4139}{4389}Fortunately fans don't really believe these rumours.| Not if they are excited to see Roxette.
{4464}{4614}They believe it's |better to stay calm.
{4762}{4838} At this time, everyone can |see the rumours were fake.
{4847}{5072} The trucks carrying the |equipment have finally arrived.
{5454}{5529} And now, let's get all |the stuff on stage....
{5692}{5755} COME ON,| COME ON...
{5748}{5873}...|let's get it done!
{7280}{7355}"And now it's done."
{7391}{7566} The day turns to night |but the stadium is still closed.
{7584}{7634} The idols are getting ready.
{7650}{7762} The power of words can be very strong...
{7808}{7933}...especially if we have a ticket for tonight.
{8031}{8056} And see,...
{8063}{8188} the reality has come closer,| to the reach of a hand - with a microphone.
{8206}{8356} Certainly all the fans would envy me because I |had the possibility of talking to Roxette personally.
{8373}{8498} I asked them if they enjoyed the |success they had here aming the fans.
{8522}{8584}The concert was a complete sell-out!
{8567}{8667}So after some negotiations they|agreed for another concert.
{8696}{8771}Marie told me that they were both |glad to come here and meet all the fans;
{8787}{8887}and that she was looking forward to the show.
{8990}{9115} And when I asked them if they knew how many CDs they had sold,| they told me they had lost counting.
{9210}{9285}Crash! Boom! Bang! |sold about 3,5 million copies.
{9320}{9420} But the total amount of record they've sold|is over 45 million!
{9548}{9648} They told me that they had planned 24 |further concerts until christmas and
{9657}{9757} in the next year they would visit|South America,  Australia and Asia.
{10152}{10252} They both admitted that they were mostly influenced |and inspired by the music of the 60s and 70s,
{10322}{10472}but they also like a lot of today's bands|like U2, REM...
{10533}{10608}Per likes Tom Petty the most.
{11003}{11128} When I asked if they liked Prague,| which they have recently visited,
{11146}{11233} Per told me, that it was a great fun |and that they had a lot of fans there.
{11247}{11347} Marie added that she liked Prague a lot,
{11356}{11481} and that it was a beautiful city |with a lot of beautiful buildings.
{11504}{11554} I wanted to know if such stars
{11560}{11610}have any hobbies
{11630}{11692} and what they actually |do in their leisure time.
{11717}{11817} Marie admitted that she tried to have a rest |in her leisure time,
{11835}{11935} But this time it's mostly taken up |by writing and composing new songs.
{12187}{12262} We both almost interrupted her
{12268}{12368} when we tried to mention |her little daughter Josefin.
{12387}{12487} She said that besides taking care of her little |daughter and family, she loved to go the the theatre.
{12508}{12608} And then she revealed that Per |loved good wine, which he also collected.
{12697}{12822}Per added that they tried to live like everyone else
{12841}{12943}and that normal life is the |source for their inspiration.
{13086}{13181} A greeting for our viewers.
{13183}{13270} I asked them to say |something to our viewers.
{13272}{13335} Marie siad a wonderful word:
{13343}{13416} AHOJ /HELLO in Czech/
{13474}{13574} And she added that they were really glad |that they could have a concert in our country,
{13582}{13687} Per hoped that the fans would |like their show and their songs.
{13826}{13901} And a bunch of flowers|from our channel...
{13960}{14035} Propably you would like to be |with us close to the Swedish duo.
{14089}{14176} So some signatures |to remember...
{14178}{14210} But...
{14213}{14303}...what should we do with such souvenirs |after some years, some fan thought,
{14311}{14386} and suddenly we got rid of |the future dilema, because
{14427}{14489} he simply stole |the poster from us.
{14495}{14568} We did not even have |time to realise that.
{14576}{14619} Well,| what can we do about it.
{14645}{14720} Fortunatelly,| we did not loose Roxette.
{14767}{14867} Maybe thanks to the fact, that until the last minute,| this huge bodyguard has been following them.
{15301}{15401} And we have to get the best place |because the stadium is getting filled now.
{15435}{15560} The people who came tonight
{15593}{15643}cowded the stadium.
{15744}{15844} 5,4,3,2,1
{15858}{15908} And let's go...
{17139}{17239} The heat is on,| Roxette are starting the show...

{22479}{22567} And all the people |are satisfied.
{22625}{22675} Marie says hello to the audience.
{22663}{22763}The atmosphere is |just outstanding.
{22788}{22888}Both from Sweden, Marie Fredriksson was born in|1958, a year before Per Gessle.
{22904}{23054}Until they got together in 1986,| they had both worked on solo projects.
{23080}{23230}Their first song was "Neverending Love",|which immediately became a summer hit.
{23261}{23361} The songs Per wrote for his forthcoming|solo project were
{23369}{23469}recorded for Roxette's debute album,| called "Pearls of Passion".
{23485}{23660}The duo went on tour to conquer Sweden. |They recorded a great song for Christmas, |"It Must Have Been Love".
{23666}{23766}In 1988, Roxette released their|second album, "Look Sharp!".
{23785}{23885}An American exchange student|bought that album and took with him to the US...
{23892}{24042}where Roxette were completely unknown.|He took it to the local radio station.
{24076}{24176}People started requesting "The Look" and soon,|the song was on the US hitlist.
{24196}{24346}In 1989 EMI quickly released "The Look" and the song|immediately became number 1 in 24 countries.
{24350}{24475}The same year, they had another number one song.
{24496}{24596}It was "Listen To Your Heart".
{24598}{24663}In 1991 they released |another album called "Joyride".
{24666}{24909}In 1994 they are on the charts with two new songs:|"Sleeping In My Car" and "Crash! Boom Bang!"
{25312}{25427}The audience is getting wild, you can feel it in the air.
{25454}{25522}And there is the title track from their album|"Crash! Boom! Bang!".
{25525}{25600}* My Papa told me to |stay out of trouble *
{25641}{25766}* "When you've found your man,| make sure he's for real!". *
{25892}{25972}* I've learned that nothing |really lasts forever *
{26028}{26165}* I sleep with the scars |I wear that won't heal *
{26241}{26321}* They won't heal. *
{26421}{26504}* Cos every time I |seem to fall in love *
{26505}{26568}* Crash! Boom!| Bang! *
{26624}{26697}* I find the heart but |then I hit the wall *
{26698}{26748}* Crash! Boom!| Bang! *
{26827}{27082}* That's the call, that's the |game and the pain stays the same. *
{27198}{27298}* I'm walking down this |empty road to nowhere *
{27331}{27461}* I pass by the houses |and blocks I once knew. *
{27595}{27708}* My Mama told me not |to mess with sorrow *
{27726}{27863}* But I always did,| and Lord, I still do *
{27910}{28015}* I'm still breaking the rules *
{28016}{28116}* " I kick it up|I kick it down". *
{28122}{28200}* Cos every time I |seem to fall in love *
{28201}{28251}* Crash! Boom!| Bang! *
{28314}{28390}* I find the heart but |then I hit the wall *
{28391}{28441}* Crash! Boom!| Bang! *
{28525}{28650}* That's my real middle-name *
{28658}{28783}* It has always been the same *
{28791}{29041}* That's the call, that's the |game and the pain stays the same. *
{29158}{29249}* I still feel the heat *
{29250}{29380}* And the taste of the kissing *
{29422}{29472}* Shattered by rain *
{29510}{29635}* And the wild holy war. *
{29651}{29753}* The wild holy war.|.. *
{30561}{30648}* "I kick it up|I kick it down" *
{30671}{30741}* Every time I seem |to fall in love *
{30742}{30804}* Crash! Boom!| Bang! *
{30864}{30938}* I find the roses |dying on the floor *
{30939}{30958}* CRASH! Boom!| Bang! *
{30959}{30975}* Crash! BOOM!| Bang! *
{30976}{31001}* Crash! Boom!| BANG! *
{31068}{31098}* That's the tall *
{31114}{31314}* that's the game and |the pain stays the same *
{31333}{31458}* That's my real middle-name *
{31464}{31564}* It has always been the same. *
{31603}{31727}* Oh Yea Oh Yea *
{31728}{31853}* It has always been the same. *
{31855}{31980}* Been the same,| been the same *
{31983}{32108}* It has always been the same. *
{32121}{32184}* Uh-huh Yea.|.. *
{32221}{32351}* It has always been the same. *
{32418}{32468}* Uh-huh Yea... *
{32543}{32603}* It has always been the same. *
{32676}{32754}* It has always... *
{32755}{32980}* ...been the same. *
{33323}{33423} And again,| one concert has passed.
{33435}{33560} And let's gather some more memories |because each place has its own feeling.
{33575}{33675} And the Prague one has its own.
{33719}{33844}And who knows what we'll have in our minds|from the past when we are no longer famous.
{33870}{33918} But now...
{33937}{34012}now we are still famous.
{34020}{34120} And the album became a gold record for|more than 20 000 copies sold.
{34354}{34479}And because we are famous, the photographers |have just one minute to take
{34517}{34592}a picture of us |with the gold record,
{34637}{34687}a picture of us |without the gold record,
{34740}{34865}and the gold record without us.
{34887}{34962}But we do sing great,| don't you think?
{35301}{35321}* I once knew a girl *
{35321}{35351}* I can't remember her name *
{35351}{35376}* but I remember her face *
{35376}{35401}* cos her sister |looked the same. *
{35414}{35476}* They both left school,| but they couldn't find a job *
{35476}{35551}* So they said farewell and |stole a small town car. *
{35551}{35663}* As they were riding by the |beach some summer night *
{35664}{35714}* The radio shouted out |one of those songs *
{35745}{35820}* that might just |change your life  *
{35848}{35901}* "It went like this:" *
{35902}{36019}* "Checkin' in checkin' out *
{36020}{36142}* Making love I like |watching all your fireworks *
{36143}{36239}* I like it when I light |those stars in your eyes *
{36240}{36365}* Just like fireworks |in the sky" *
{36385}{36445}* "yes it did.|.." *
{36614}{36670}* Throwing some poems |to the ports and docks *
{36671}{36738}* They were sleeping outdoors |pushing all their luck. *
{36739}{36798}* They sent me a letter |full of pills and thrills *
{36797}{36860}* Then they both got rich and |moved to Hollywood Hills. *
{36861}{36981}* Yea they made lots of |money playing folk guitar *
{36982}{37050}* Cos everywhere the |boys went crazy *
{37051}{37164}* just to hear these |words of art: *
{37165}{37281}* "Checkin' in checkin' out *
{37282}{37404}* Making love I like |watching all your fireworks *
{37405}{37496}* I like it when I light |those stars in your eyes *
{37497}{37622}* Just like fireworks |in the sky". *
{37645}{37728}* ...|fireworks in the sky *
{38229}{38354}* They're coming to get you *
{38417}{38492}* They're coming |to get you now *
{38532}{38669}* Coming to get you now *
{38720}{38842}* "Checkin' in checkin' out *
{38843}{38964}* Making love I like |watching all your fireworks *
{38965}{39063}* I like it when I light |those stars in your eyes *
{39064}{39189}* Just like fireworks |in the sky". *
{39202}{39327}* ...|fireworks in the sky. *
{39403}{39453}* Watch the sky! *
{39528}{39578}* Watch the sky! *
{40446}{40546} And it's time to say good bye.
{40550}{40650} Other cities are waiting, other stages are waiting|for these people
{40664}{40764} from a Northern land,| of the former Vikings.
{40838}{40963} And because it sometimes gets tiring,| we have to use some little tricks,
{40974}{41049} suitable for these gods.
{41061}{41136} Well, if not gods, at least show business stars.
{41182}{41257} Well, for a little while you'll see me,| for a little while you won't.
{41639}{41739}You can adjust your cameras,| it does not help a thing.
{41766}{41841} Because we left |in a different way.
{41885}{41935} Well,| next time maybe.
{41964}{42039} So once upon a time..
{42084}{42284}it was something like |this - when Roxette came to Prague.
{46534}{46684}When we finished the Crash! Boom! Bang! Tour in|the summer of 1995, Marie wanted to have a break,
{46695}{46845} to take care of her family and |they she got a second baby as well.
{46924}{46999} Well,| I can not be relaxing.
{47006}{47073} I just have to do |something all the time.
{47051}{47163} So I said to myself: record a solo album.
{47172}{47222} So this is actually |the main reason.
{47230}{47355}And Iwanted to make an album|dedicated to the pop-music itself.
{47371}{47446} I grew up with 70s pop |and I tried to get the album
{47453}{47503}to sound like that kind of music,
{47509}{47609} but it should be an album of 1997.
{47813}{47988} And this how |I want music to sound.
{47996}{48046} This is my version |of pop-music.
{48371}{48496} My musical heroes are, as I already said,| from the age of the 70s.
{48524}{48624} As a teenager I |listened to them a lot.
{48862}{48937} I just like different things.
{49157}{49307}I think that nowadays dance music - |techno, is the only really modern music.
{49332}{49457}What I am doing or what maybe Oasis are doing,|is a traditional form of pop.
{49483}{49608} Prodigy, Chemical Brothers they do really |new modern things and it is interesting.
{49617}{49742}It does not mean that I would like to do such music myself,|but I like it.
{49938}{50063} To be able to write songs,| you have to be like a magnet.
{50072}{50147} You are looking for |new ideas all the time.
{50154}{50229} I can be sitting in a taxi,| talking to the driver
{50236}{50316} and something from this |conversation stays in me,
{50323}{50373} which I use in a song then.
{50384}{50509}I can watch a movie or read a newspaper |and I always take something from there.
{50662}{50762} I have never been striving |to make serious mentions,
{50769}{50869} if political,| or of the environment or racism.
{50878}{50978} This has never been |a part of my music.
{50990}{51090} It may depend on the fact |the I only grew up with pop.
{51115}{51290}The most important thing with music for me is that it really kicks you|and that you can feel the positive energy of it.
{51304}{51429} This is the most.
{53515}{53565} A moment,...
{53565}{53590}...wait,...
{53590}{53630}...| I have a question.
{53632}{53707} Well, on purpose,| a test for the viewers.
{53714}{53814} Does a name like Joyride |say anything to you?
{53823}{53873}...YES...
{53869}{53906} Does it say anything to you!?
{53912}{53962} Well, I might have |surprised you a bit.
{53962}{53978} Myself as well.
{53979}{54041} You start to realise,| where I am going.
{54044}{54137} When you said this word,| which is the second one on your mind?
{54139}{54176} Roxette,| great.
{54180}{54255} I see that your faces are growing |long and your eyes are getting huge.
{54255}{54381} Maybe you can not believe it at home,| we could not believe it either until now, but it is true.
{54414}{54449} The duo...
{54449}{54524}...Roxette,| has split up a bit.
{54504}{54604} So we take away the .|.ette
{54607}{54707} and we get a rock (rox).
{54709}{54770} Which means that we try to announce that |a world famous pop star will perform here.
{54771}{54800} Martin,| say it.
{54801}{54830} He will perform |here at this place.
{54831}{54854} Say it as first!

{60732}{60807} Without taking notice of the new |developments going on in the world,
{60807}{60857} and the increased security,
{60857}{60907} Prague has remained |one of the most famous
{60907}{60982} pilgrim sites of the world |for the famous music bands.
{60982}{61107}During the night, in secret, |the famous Swedish group Roxette has come to Prague.
{61209}{61334}For the European tour the Swedish group chose|propably the most secure means of transport.
{61351}{61389} A bus.
{61389}{61426} A double-deck bus.
{61432}{61507}They brought all their children with them,
{61507}{61582} tons of suitcases, numerous other things |and, according to their words, optimism,
{61582}{61707} good mood and a bit of excitement before |the show tomorrow in the Czech Republic.
{61743}{61818} We have only been on the road for 4 weeks now,| so we are really excited.
{61858}{61938} In the meantime when the band members have |been packing up the suitcases in the hotel,
{61938}{62038}changing and bathing the kids, |the preparations for the concert have begun.
{62064}{62189} The huge stage has been built |in the same moment as the huge
{62189}{62254}double-decker bus had passed the |borders of the Czech Republic.
{62264}{62389}It feels great to be here.| I hope it will be a great show.
{62531}{62656} I want to say hello to all our fans and |I am so happy that they are still with us.
{62672}{62747} The chaos, which now rules behind me,| is just apparent.
{62747}{62822} During the night, a huge stage |will rise from this construction
{62822}{62947} on which tonight the famous Swedish|group, Roxette will perform.
