BTW, it’s popular to say the Velvet Revolution was named after Velvet Underground, but as far as I know, that was a little joke that took off in Western media, because it’s catchy and ties the events to something on their side of the former Iron Curtain. I’m sure Havel appreciated the (existing) connection and that’s why he made the joke (and maybe it’s why the word “velvet” came more easily to mind), but the actual immediate reason for that name was because the revolution was very peaceful (soft, gentle, like velvet) as revolutions go. Leaving that out of the story reduces the story: it could not have taken that name had it gone down differently.
