Iako sada bez sumnje prvi gitarista sveta, malo su poznati počeci ovog učitelja i shadow-writera Kurta Kobejna…
Naime, Peđa je od rane mladosti iskazivao veliku sklonost ka slikanju, što mu je konačno za deseti rođendan omogućilo prijem na francusku Academie des Beaux-Arts. Radeći sa Pikasom i Dalijem, njegovu svetsku slavu su pomračili brojni skandali: po prijemu jedne od njegovih slika u Luvr, penje se i urinira na Mona lizu dajući joj današnju čuvenu žutu patinu.
Bežeći od javnosti ostaje jedno vreme u Vorholovom studiju u Njujorku i potpisujući se kao Andy slika njegova najbolja dela u zamenu za stan i hranu, no stalno se gubi u zamršenim ulicama i jednom ne uspevši da pronadje put do ateljea sreće Alana Turinga koji je ostao bez duvana; tu počinje priča o kompjuterima i Peđa je potpuno zarobljen u novoj ljubavi prema mašinama… Putuje za London i pomaže Turingu na razbijanju Enigme no nezadovoljni Vorhol dolazi za njima i ubija Alana isceniravši samoubistvo, ali Peđi je sve jasno i vraća se u Njujork gde spaljuje Vorholov studio: „Uvek ti je crna bila lažna“ saopštava mu dok im plamen guta radove.
Razočaran u svet jedno vreme pronalazi mir kao pilot cepelina na novoj ruti Berlin – Argentina ali njegova uspavana ljubav prema digitalnom svetu se ponovo rasplamsava te sa Gejtsom osniva silikonsku dolinu i pravi prvu svesnu veštachku inteligenciju no na dan promocije podivljala svetina uplashena filmom „Terminator“ uništava laboratoriju i prvo numeričko biće…
Potpuno devastiran, odaje se alkoholu i tu sreće Sida Višiosa na ulicama Sijetla te ga on uchi da svira gitaru i otvara mu svet Punk muzike. Saradjujuci sa brojnim bendovima tokom godina prijateljstvo sa Višiosom traje sve dok ovaj u napadu paranoje izazvanoj trovanjem lepkom ne pokušava da ga ubije, te Peđu, iako fizički znatno jačeg no pod dejstvom alkohola, čudom spašava pas avanturista Bagins koji ostaje uz njega do dana današnjeg…
Mali je ovo prostor da se pobroje sve Peđine zgode no zanimljivo je spomenuti da su dva tremoloa na kojima svira poklon od Kurta Kobejna. Na poleđini vrata ovih Fendera su ugravirane misteriozne reči „Dao si mi svet i ja ga prodadoh“.
Although now undoubtedly the world’s leading guitarist, the beginnings of this teacher and shadow-writer for Kurt Cobain are little known…
Indeed, from an early age, Peđa showed a great inclination towards painting, which finally enabled him to be admitted to the French Academie des Beaux-Arts for his tenth birthday. Working with Picasso and Dalí, his global fame was overshadowed by numerous scandals: upon one of his paintings being received at the Louvre, he climbed up and urinated on the Mona Lisa, giving it its famous yellow patina.
Fleeing from the public eye, he spent some time in Warhol’s studio in New York, signing as Andy and painting Warhol’s best works in exchange for room and board. However, he constantly got lost in the convoluted streets, and once, failing to find his way back to the studio, he met Alan Turing who had run out of tobacco; this began the story about computers and Peđa was completely captivated by his new love for machines… He traveled to London and helped Turing crack the Enigma code, but an unsatisfied Warhol followed them and killed Alan, staging a suicide. Peđa, realizing the truth, returned to New York and burned down Warhol’s studio: „Your black was always a lie,“ he announced as the flames consumed their work.
Disillusioned with the world, he found peace for a while as a zeppelin pilot on the new Berlin – Argentina route, but his dormant love for the digital world reignited. With Gates, he founded Silicon Valley and created the first conscious artificial intelligence, but on the day of its unveiling a frenzied mob frightened by the movie „Terminator“ destroyed the laboratory and the first numerical being…
Completely devastated, he turned to alcohol, and there he met Sid Vicious on the streets of Seattle, who taught him to play guitar and opened up the world of Punk music to him. Collaborating with numerous bands over the years, his friendship with Vicious lasted until, in a glue poisoning-induced paranoid attack, he tried to kill Peđa. Peđa, though physically much stronger but under the influence of alcohol, was miraculously saved by the adventurer dog Baggins, who has stayed with him to this day…
This space is too small to list all of Peđa’s achievements, but it is interesting to note that the two tremolos he plays on were a gift from Kurt Cobain. Engraved on the back of the necks of these Fenders are the mysterious words „You gave me the world and I sold it.“
