Czech Playwright Vaclav Havel was a leader of the "Velvet Revolution," the 1989 revolt that ousted Czechoslovakia's totalitarian Communist government. It was a term coined by a French journalist to describe the peaceful revolution. And it also fit nicely with Havel's love for the art-rock band the Velvet Underground. Independent Producer Trey Kay recently found out just how big a fan Havel is. Kay's band played the Velvet Underground's "Banana" album in a special performance for Havel last week. We follow up, to see how it went.
