it's complicated
Mimi was a drummer of The Mad Roses in a big harbour Rijeka, Croatia.
He was very young when started to play in bars and was very strong personality that did not expose itself but used to be a comfort for blues mood boys and girls, children and old people.
Mimi was the opponent of his old man who was an army colonel. When Mimi was in turn to go in the Yugoslav People's Army, he sold his drums and went into the cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina to serve his obligation. There he was a drummer in the band The Morning where musicians made the first big hit which was lately the first hit of the best and the most popular band in former Yugoslavia.
When Mimi came back to Rijeka that is full of musicians, he tried to play drums but he never had enough money to earn the drums. Than he made a band The Stone Tears and in the meantime had two marriages and three daughters. Mimi was very free person and positive in his doings. He never fought for his rights, just playing and playing drums, piano and guitar and if he had some money, he put it into the music. He went in the prison because he could not pay the alimentation. Of course, in the jail he made music. Than the time came when Mimi have to go in the Croatian Army Forces. After Croatia became a free state of her own, Mimi was diagnosed of leukemia. He get some heritage from his old man which was the land that cannot be sold. Never Mimi could get more money for his dream to play drums and to get success, but everybody in the city knew him and respected him. He became a homeless and a volunteer of the year. Than he took a big credit in a strange way and was obligated to go in the prison, but money was never found. When they have to release him, he went to the doctor and saw that will not leave any longer, but did not appeal for his rights, as usual, and he stayed in prison longer than necessary.
The Mad Roses stopped to exist before they even begun. Mimi was a drummer in the group of old musicians, one better than another. They make a very good music.
Here you can see how somebody as Mimi can be a rush drummer while he used to be so gentle person. Audio is the first and last record when The Mad Roses have their practise ( will be soon ).
Much more than a drummer, Mimi was a strong warrior, used to play and smile to the blues- mood but nobody will ever know in what prison he was and how hard were his battles. 02.09.2015. 10:26
On the September the second 2015. a month after Mimi gone
I would drink again sweet nectar
that are not only syrups plant
but painstakingly derived missing
from fruits full of petals of lilies,
Eager to move small jumps
to the huge flower without fragrance
so as not to be drowned in the juices
they flutter between flower outline
Of which coming on light dizziness
but at the very attempt inhalation
early summer rain drops of below-petals
after a morning ascent Aglow
The vast and invisible nostrils
which I am only partially aware
but mind the existing hairpin
as infant jelly raw
And so I am familiar with a garden atmosphere
I’m losing it from the memories
from which I wake up to another delivery
eternally present bees Acumens
and do not even know what I’m made of
because I do not see any dust and ashes,
I do not believe that is the dawn of them seasoned
because how would I flew that way
While the rare rain dripping aspire to execute me
that they could tell to the Gentiles
that the bees and the people once knew to dig
common roots of these below-petals
Here, I already avails itself of the fruit
I’ve already picked up a spiritual arms
in which counts the number of new ages
and were fed me a great bunch of lilies
And just a breath of freshness looming
modest wish was and jelly.
Oh, and the bird struck up
as if she took my word.
