Na prvn\u00ed pohled sympatick\u00fd muzikant s\u00a0americk\u00fdm \u00fasm\u011bvem, kovbojskou image a\u00a0kytarou se stal zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00edm symbolem normaliza\u010dn\u00edch \u010das\u016f. Zat\u00edmco doma v\u00a0USA velkou hv\u011bzdou nikdy nebyl, v\u00a0socialistick\u00fdch zem\u00edch vyprod\u00e1val s\u00e1ly, vystupoval v\u00a0televizi a\u00a0to\u010dil filmy. A\u00a0\u010ceskoslovensko nebylo v\u00fdjimkou.<\/p>\n

Sl\u00e1va p\u0159i\u0161la daleko od domova<\/p>\n

Dean Reed se narodil v\u00a0Coloradu a\u00a0jako mlad\u00fd mu\u017e snil o\u00a0hudebn\u00ed kari\u00e9\u0159e. V\u00a0Americe ale neprorazil.

Pr\u00e1v\u011b tam se za\u010dal v\u00edce zaj\u00edmat o\u00a0d\u011bn\u00ed ve sv\u011bt\u011b. Kritizoval americkou zahrani\u010dn\u00ed politiku, v\u00e1lku ve Vietnamu i\u00a0obrovsk\u00e9 soci\u00e1ln\u00ed rozd\u00edly.

V \u010ceskoslovensku byl Dean Reed zn\u00e1mou tv\u00e1\u0159\u00ed televizn\u00ed z\u00e1bavy. Pravideln\u011b k\u00a0n\u00e1m jezdil koncertovat, v\u00a0Praze nat\u00e1\u010del desky, vystupoval v\u00a0po\u0159adech a\u00a0spolupracoval i\u00a0s dom\u00e1c\u00edmi interprety. Objevil se nap\u0159\u00edklad po boku Heleny Vondr\u00e1\u010dkov\u00e9 nebo V\u00e1clava Neck\u00e1\u0159e\u00a0\u2013 spojen\u00ed americk\u00e9ho zp\u011bv\u00e1ka a\u00a0\u010deskoslovensk\u00e9 popov\u00e9 hv\u011bzdy p\u016fsobilo v\u00a0tehdej\u0161\u00ed dob\u011b t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 neobvykle. S\u00e1m Neck\u00e1\u0159 jej pova\u017eoval za velmi dobr\u00e9ho p\u0159\u00edtele.<\/p>\n

Pro \u010d\u00e1st publika byl Reed sympatick\u00fdm Ameri\u010danem, kter\u00fd mluvil o\u00a0m\u00edru a\u00a0zp\u00edval chytlav\u00e9 p\u00edsn\u011b. Jeho vystupov\u00e1n\u00ed p\u016fsobilo na dom\u00e1c\u00ed publikum trochu exoticky\u00a0\u2013 p\u0159ece jen ne ka\u017ed\u00fd den zp\u00edval na \u010deskoslovensk\u00e9 obrazovce rodil\u00fd Ameri\u010dan, nav\u00edc sympatizuj\u00edc\u00ed se socialismem. Jin\u00ed ho ale vn\u00edmali v\u00a0negativn\u00edm smyslu jako v\u00fdkladn\u00ed sk\u0159\u00ed\u0148 re\u017eimu. Pravda byla nejsp\u00ed\u0161 slo\u017eit\u011bj\u0161\u00ed.<\/p>\n

Podle lid\u00ed z\u00a0jeho okol\u00ed nebyl \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fdm cynick\u00fdm propagandistou ani loutkou re\u017eimu. On socialistick\u00fdm ide\u00e1l\u016fm skute\u010dn\u011b v\u011b\u0159il. Ve\u0159ejn\u011b podporoval m\u00edrov\u00e1 hnut\u00ed, anga\u017eoval se v\u00a0boji proti rasismu a\u00a0kritizoval v\u00e1lky. Z\u00e1rove\u0148 ale nebyl slep\u00fd v\u016f\u010di probl\u00e9m\u016fm re\u017eimu. \u010c\u00edm d\u00e9le \u017eil za \u017eeleznou oponou, t\u00edm v\u00edc nar\u00e1\u017eel na tvrdou realitu syst\u00e9mu. Poznal cenzuru i\u00a0r\u016fzn\u00e1 omezen\u00ed a\u00a0postupn\u011b nabyl pocitu, \u017ee v\u011bci nejsou tak jednoduch\u00e9, jak si p\u0159edstavoval.<\/p>\n

Mezi dv\u011bma sv\u011bty<\/p>\n

Dean Reed se postupn\u011b ocitl v\u00a0podivn\u00e9 situaci. Ve Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1tech byl ozna\u010dov\u00e1n za \u010dlov\u011bka, kter\u00fd \u201ep\u0159eb\u011bhl\u201c na druhou stranu\u00a0\u2013 jak\u00fdsi odpadl\u00edk, jen\u017e se nebyl schopn\u00fd doma prosadit. Za \u017eeleznou oponou se sice stal hv\u011bzdou, i\u00a0kdy\u017e z\u00a0velk\u00e9 \u010d\u00e1sti um\u011ble vytvo\u0159enou, ale st\u00e1le z\u016fst\u00e1val trochu cizincem. Nikdy \u00fapln\u011b nezapadl ani na jedn\u00e9 stran\u011b opony.<\/p>\n

V \u010dervnu roku 1986\u00a0byl nalezen mrtv\u00fd v\u00a0jednom z\u00a0berl\u00ednsk\u00fdch jezer. Bylo mu pouh\u00fdch 47\u00a0let. Dodnes nen\u00ed jasn\u00e9, zda \u0161lo o\u00a0sebevra\u017edu, ne\u0161\u0165astnou ud\u00e1lost, nebo snad vra\u017edu. Jeho smrt tak st\u00e1le vyvol\u00e1v\u00e1 ot\u00e1zky. Ve\u0159ejnost spekulovala i\u00a0o z\u00e1sahu tajn\u00fdch slu\u017eeb, d\u016fkazy pro toto tvrzen\u00ed v\u0161ak nikdy nebyly.<\/p>\n

\u0160el proti proudu<\/p>\n

Dean Reed byl zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00ed postavou studen\u00e9 v\u00e1lky. V\u00a0dob\u011b, kdy lid\u00e9 riskovali \u017eivot p\u0159i \u00fat\u011bku ze socialistick\u00fdch zem\u00ed, se jeden Ameri\u010dan rozhodl odej\u00edt opa\u010dn\u00fdm sm\u011brem. Pravd\u011bpodobn\u011b nehledal lep\u0161\u00ed \u017eivot v\u00a0materi\u00e1ln\u00edm smyslu. Mo\u017en\u00e1 v\u011b\u0159il, \u017ee n\u011bkde existuje spravedliv\u011bj\u0161\u00ed sv\u011bt.
