===Beginnings===
Ivan Glišić was born in 1942 during [[World War II in Yugoslavia]] in [[Pirot]], [[Serbia]], but 10 years later he moved with his family to [[Šabac]], his new hometown in what was then the [[Socialist Republic of Serbia]]. He became interested in [[rocknroll]] in the late 1950s as a teenager, after hearing artists such as [[Tommy Steele]], [[Cliff Richard]] and [[The Drifters]] on [[Radio Luxembourg (English)|Radio Luxembourg]], which was a usual source for music information of the Yugoslav youths of the time. In the following years, throughout the early 1960s he became a fan of [[The Beatles]] and [[The Rolling Stones]], and an avid [[gramophone record|record]] [[collecting|collector]], although, bizarrely, he didn't have a [[record player]] yet. He purchased his first one in 1964 together with a group of friends, who were also rock music fans and with whom he participated in his hometown's rock [[subculture]]. Although they faced occasional problems with the authorities, they were permitted to use the [[Community ownership|publicly owned]] youth cultural centre, such as all major towns in Yugoslavia had, for their musical and [[artistic]] activities. There emerged [[art collective]]s, youth magazines and a [[writing workshop]]s led by Glišić, and several local bands were formed, such as Čivije, Slatki Limunovi and Baš Čelik, while concert was held by the prominent group Siluete from [[Belgrade]]. Ivan Glišić's favourite artists at the time included: [[The Who]], [[Pretty Things]], [[The Kinks]], [[The Animals]], [[The Troggs]] and [[Them (band)|Them]]. He was impressed by ''the 1960s'' [[social revolution]], but gradually became disilusioned with it. His heroes, The Beatles, received [[MBE]] by the [[Queen Elizabeth II|Queen]], and during a certain period, went into what he perceived as [[escapism]] under [[Maharishi Mahesh Yogi|Maharishi]]'s influence, instead of supporting the then vibrant [[student activism|student movement]], especially active during the global [[protests of 1968]], which also took place in Yugoslavia, leaving strong impressions on Glišić.

He joined Nikola Karaklajić, one of the first Yugoslav rock DJ's, who ran a famous [[radio show]] on [[Radio Belgrade]] called ''Veče uz radio'' (''An Evening by the Radio''). Glišić wrote the lyrics for the show's "[[anthem]]" which was recorded jointly by the groups S.O.S. and Zajedno. The former included [[Miša Aleksić]], also a [[co-author]] of the song, while the latter, [[Bora Đorđević]]. They both later formed the prominent [[Serbian rock]] act [[Riblja Čorba]]. The second co-author was [[Laza Ristovski]], the keyboardist of the [[Bosnians|Bosnian]] and Yugoslav [[cult band]] [[Bijelo dugme]].

During the 1970s, Glišić wrote lyrics for various rock bands, such as: the aforementioned S.O.S., Rondo, Tetrapak, and others. After finishing his university studies, he became a school teacher, and also wrote lyrics for the rock band Mudra sova consisting of his pupils, early teenagers. Initially, the band was successful, it released its first single promoted with a well attended live [[Gig (musical performance)|gig]] and recorded the material for its first [[LP album|LP]]. However some media criticised Glišić, claiming that he abused his position for manipulating children, therefore he abandoned the whole thing. Unusually, although he was into pop and rock music, Glišić also began writing songs for [[pop folk]] acts as well, including [[Lepa Brena]] and her [[backing band]] [[Slatki greh]] who became very popular across Yugoslavia in the 1980s.

Glišić and Jugoton had a fruitful co-operation, and his [[royalties]] were regularly received on his bank account, however as the [[break-up of Yugoslavia]] was evidently approaching, he was suggested by Jugoton, which was located in Croatia, to withdraw his payments and transfer them into a bank in his [[homeland]] Serbia. Glišić followed the advice, but during the 1990s economic and political turmoil in [[Slobodan Milošević|Milošević]]'s led [[Republic of Serbia (federal)|Serbia]], he lost them all.

Ivan Glišić is an author of many [[literary works]], some published as [[books]], some in the [[News media|press]], including poetry, [[prose]], essays etc. He also received several [[literary award]]s. His works include ([[Serbian language]] titles): "Jer znala je mama, mene će skrckati levi elementi", "Zdravo Kolumbo, ovde Amerika", "Plastično lice", "Rock and roll Warriors", "Dogfucker", "Ura, ura, matura", "Loši dečaci", "Ponoćni očajnik", "Čizme slobode", "Mars, punk struggle for life", "La džungla ili Niža rasa", "Diler – Život u svetlosti", "Bure i osame [[Miloš Crnjanski|Miloša Crnjanskog]]", "Mikelanđelo – avanture tela i duha", "Ključ od sebe ili [[Isidora Sekulić]]", the series of books titled "Gorila" and many others. He also finished and [[redacted]] the posthumous autobiography "Zub šestica" by Dušan Savković. Unusually, Glišić never held a public book promotion, as a result of a bad experience from the early 1970s, when his first poetry book "Svadbarenje" was widthdrawn from the [[book store]]s and its promotion was banned. The reason for this was that the [[book review]]er was [[Mika Antić]], its [[book cover|cover]] was designed by [[Milić od Mačve]], while the [[poetry reading|poetry reader]] at the event should have been [[Zoran Radmilović]], all of whom the [[communist regime]] considered suspicious and somewhat [[dissident]] at that moment. After becoming affiliated with the [[punk subculture]] in the late 1970s, Glišić became one of the first [[Punk literature|punk writers]] in Yugoslavia.

After graduating university studies and becoming a school professor, Ivan Glišić went to London, UK in the late 1970s on an [[excursion]] with his students. There he got acquainted himself with [[punk rock]], [[new wave music|new wave]] and the [[skinhead]] subculture, and had an opportunity to watch [[The Adverts]] performing live, but also he witnessed the violent clashes between punks and [[teddy boy]]s. He embraced punk as it reminded him of his youth's music and rebellion, and after returning home, he formed a band called N.T. (an [[abbreviation]] for [[Novi Talas]], meaning in [[serbian language|Serbian]]: ''New Wave'') consisting of some of his students who accompanied him in London, and himself as vocalist. Soon before it recorded its first single, the Mudra sova event described before repeated itself. The group split as the student's parents forbade them from hanging around with Glišić any more, and he was expelled from his workplace. He heavily involved himself in the [[Yugoslav Punk]] and [[hardcore punk]] scene, publishing [[D.I.Y.]] [[punkzine]]s featuring his [[punk literature]] and [[punk visual art]]. His favourite groups included: [[The Damned (band)|The Damned]], [[Generation X (band)|Generation X]], [[Dead Kennedys]], [[The Lurkers]], [[Magazine (band)|Magazine]], [[UK Subs]], [[Rich Kids]], [[The Exploited]] and others.

During this period Glišić became close friend with [[Satan Panonski]], the controversial punk musician, poet and [[body art]]ist from [[Vinkovci]] area, [[Socialist Republic of Croatia]], notorious not only for his excessive behaviour, stage performance, [[transvestitism]] and homosexuality, but also because he was serving in a [[psychiatric hospital]] following a [[homicide]] he committed. After a mail correspondence, the two met each other on several occasions, whenever the latter was permitted to leave the institution on a time off for [[socialisation]] for a good behaviour. One of the meetings took place on a concert performed by the prominent British band [[Charged GBH]]. After the [[dissolution of Yugoslavia]] and the [[Yugoslav Wars]] broke out, they maintained the contact although under very harsh circumstances using the [[Red Cross]] as a mediator. According to some media reports, Satan Panonski, embraced nationalist [[chauvinism]], although he was previously known to be uncompromisingly against it. After learning about this, Glišić tried to reach him by phone from [[Budapest]], in neighbouring [[Hungary]], where he went on a [[Nick Cave]] concert. He succeeded to find him, and during the conversation, Satan Panonski denied the allegations. However, reportedly, he joined the Croatian forces during the [[War in Croatia]], and he was murdered under still unclear circumstances.

Biography

[edit]

Beginnings

[edit]

Ivan Glišić was born in 1942 during World War II in Yugoslavia in Pirot, Serbia, but 10 years later he moved with his family to Šabac, his new hometown in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia. He became interested in rocknroll in the late 1950s as a teenager, after hearing artists such as Tommy Steele, Cliff Richard and The Drifters on Radio Luxembourg, which was a usual source for music information of the Yugoslav youths of the time. In the following years, throughout the early 1960s he became a fan of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and an avid record collector, although, bizarrely, he didn't have a record player yet. He purchased his first one in 1964 together with a group of friends, who were also rock music fans and with whom he participated in his hometown's rock subculture. Although they faced occasional problems with the authorities, they were permitted to use the publicly owned youth cultural centre, such as all major towns in Yugoslavia had, for their musical and artistic activities. There emerged art collectives, youth magazines and a writing workshops led by Glišić, and several local bands were formed, such as Čivije, Slatki Limunovi and Baš Čelik, while concert was held by the prominent group Siluete from Belgrade. Ivan Glišić's favourite artists at the time included: The Who, Pretty Things, The Kinks, The Animals, The Troggs and Them. He was impressed by the 1960s social revolution, but gradually became disillusioned with it. His heroes, The Beatles, received MBE by the Queen, and during a certain period, went into what he perceived as escapism under Maharishi's influence, instead of supporting the then vibrant student movement, especially active during the global protests of 1968, which also took place in Yugoslavia, leaving strong impressions on Glišić.

In the early 1970s, Ivan Glišić became involved in the pop and rock music scene of Zagreb, then Socialist Republic of Croatia, where he cooperated with the notable group Roboti, whose bassist was Rajmond Ruić. As a tandem consisting of Glišić as a songwriter, and Ruić as a composer and arranger, they were active in writing songs for the prominent Croatian pop and rock artists: Josipa Lisac, Time, Darko Domjan and Dalibor Brun, achieving great prominence not only in Croatia, but also in the wider Yugoslav pop and rock scene.

Glišić became so successful that the biggest former Yugoslav major label, the Zagreb-based Jugoton employed him, paying him weekly round trip-airline tickets from Belgrade to Zagreb, providing him accommodation in the most prestige hotels and best recording schedules. Glišić went to Zagreb every Sunday and returned to Šabac every weekend.

Some of his successful hits included "Ulica jorgovana" and "Laku noć, Katarina" performed by Darko Domjan. Glišić also participated in many domestic and international music festivals and was awarded on several occasions.

He joined Nikola Karaklajić, one of the first Yugoslav rock DJ's, who ran a famous radio show on Radio Belgrade called Veče uz radio (An Evening by the Radio). Glišić wrote the lyrics for the show's "anthem" which was recorded jointly by the groups S.O.S. and Zajedno. The former included Miša Aleksić, also a co-author of the song, while the latter, Bora Đorđević. They both later formed the prominent Serbian rock act Riblja Čorba. The second co-author was Laza Ristovski, the keyboardist of the Bosnian and Yugoslav cult band Bijelo dugme.

During the 1970s, Glišić wrote lyrics for various rock bands, such as: the aforementioned S.O.S., Rondo, Tetrapak, and others. After finishing his university studies, he became a school teacher, and also wrote lyrics for the rock band Mudra sova consisting of his pupils, early teenagers. Initially, the band was successful, it released its first single promoted with a well attended live gig and recorded the material for its first LP. However some media criticised Glišić, claiming that he abused his position for manipulating children, therefore he abandoned the whole thing. Unusually, although he was into pop and rock music, Glišić also began writing songs for pop folk acts as well, including Lepa Brena and her backing band Slatki greh who became very popular across Yugoslavia in the 1980s.

Glišić and Jugoton had a fruitful co-operation, and his royalties were regularly received on his bank account, however as the break-up of Yugoslavia was evidently approaching, he was suggested by Jugoton, which was located in Croatia, to withdraw his payments and transfer them into a bank in his homeland Serbia. Glišić followed the advice, but during the 1990s economic and political turmoil in Milošević's led Serbia, he lost them all.

Literature

[edit]

Ivan Glišić is an author of many literary works, some published as books, some in the press, including poetry, prose, essays etc. He also received several literary awards. His works include (Serbian language titles): "Jer znala je mama, mene će skrckati levi elementi", "Zdravo Kolumbo, ovde Amerika", "Plastično lice", "Rock and roll Warriors", "Dogfucker", "Ura, ura, matura", "Loši dečaci", "Ponoćni očajnik", "Čizme slobode", "Mars, punk struggle for life", "La džungla ili Niža rasa", "Diler – Život u svetlosti", "Bure i osame Miloša Crnjanskog", "Mikelanđelo – avanture tela i duha", "Ključ od sebe ili Isidora Sekulić", the series of books titled "Gorila" and many others. He also finished and redacted the posthumous autobiography "Zub šestica" by Dušan Savković. Unusually, Glišić never held a public book promotion, as a result of a bad experience from the early 1970s, when his first poetry book "Svadbarenje" was widthdrawn from the book stores and its promotion was banned. The reason for this was that the book reviewer was Mika Antić, its cover was designed by Milić od Mačve, while the poetry reader at the event should have been Zoran Radmilović, all of whom the communist regime considered suspicious and somewhat dissident at that moment. After becoming affiliated with the punk subculture in the late 1970s, Glišić became one of the first punk writers in Yugoslavia.

Punk

[edit]

After graduating university studies and becoming a school professor, Ivan Glišić went to London, UK in the late 1970s on an excursion with his students. There he got acquainted himself with punk rock, new wave and the skinhead subculture, and had an opportunity to watch The Adverts performing live, but also he witnessed the violent clashes between punks and teddy boys. He embraced punk as it reminded him of his youth's music and rebellion, and after returning home, he formed a band called N.T. (an abbreviation for novi talas, meaning in "new wave" in Serbian) consisting of some of his students who accompanied him in London, and himself as vocalist. Soon before it recorded its first single, the Mudra sova event described before repeated itself. The group split as the student's parents forbade them from hanging around with Glišić any more, and he was expelled from his workplace. He heavily involved himself in the Yugoslav punk and hardcore punk scene, publishing D.I.Y. punkzines featuring his punk literature and punk visual art. His favourite groups included: The Damned, Generation X, Dead Kennedys, The Lurkers, Magazine, UK Subs, Rich Kids, The Exploited and others.

During this period Glišić became close friend with Satan Panonski, the controversial punk musician, poet and body artist from Vinkovci area, Socialist Republic of Croatia, notorious not only for his excessive behaviour, stage performance, transvestitism and homosexuality, but also because he was serving in a psychiatric hospital following a homicide he committed. After a mail correspondence, the two met each other on several occasions, whenever the latter was permitted to leave the institution on a time off for socialisation for a good behaviour. One of the meetings took place on a concert performed by the prominent British band Charged GBH. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Wars broke out, they maintained the contact although under very harsh circumstances using the Red Cross as a mediator. According to some media reports, Satan Panonski, embraced nationalist chauvinism, although he was previously known to be uncompromisingly against it. After learning about this, Glišić tried to reach him by phone from Budapest, in neighbouring Hungary, where he went on a Nick Cave concert. He succeeded to find him, and during the conversation, Satan Panonski denied the allegations. However, reportedly, he joined the Croatian forces during the War in Croatia, and he was killed in action.

Ivan Glišić opposed the war and supported the opposition represented by Otpor! against Slobodan Milošević who ruled the then so called Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The struggle resulted with Milošević's fall during the Bulldozer Revolution in 2000. Currently, Glišić is still an active participant in the cultural life of Serbia, including literature, art exhibitions, literary contests etc.
