Aerosmith
Aerosmith is an American hard rock band, sometimes referred to as "The Bad Boys from Boston" and "'''America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band'''". Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has come to also incorporate elements of pop, heavy metal, and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists. The band was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970. Guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with singer Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, and the band began developing a following in Boston.

The hill, almost entirely covered with parks, is a favorite recreational area for the inhabitants of Prague.

Petřín funicular
The Petřín funicular is a funicular railway in the Czech capital city of Prague. It links the Malá Strana district with the top of Petřín hill. The funicular has three stops: Újezd (at the bottom of the hill), Nebozízek (the middle station) and Petřín (at the top of the hill). According to Czech legend, the name of the middle station stems from an incident in which Emperor Charles IV, requesting food, was unable to properly pronounce the Czech words "nebo řízek" (meaning, "or schnitzel"). – the word Nebozízek means diminutively one of types of auger.

Sokol
The Sokol movement (from the Slavic word for falcon) is a youth sport movement and gymnastics organization first founded in Czech region of Austria-Hungary, Prague, in 1862 by Miroslav Tyrš and Jindřich Fügner. Primarily a fitness training center, the Sokol, also through lectures, discussions, and group outings provided what Tyrš viewed as physical, moral, and intellectual training for the nation. This training extended to members of all classes, and eventually to women. The movement also spread across all the regions populated by the Slavic culture in German Empire (Poland (Sokół)), Serbia, Bulgaria (Macedonia), Russian Empire (Poland, Ukraine, Belarus), and the rest of Austria-Hungary such as Slovenia and Croatia. In many of these nations, the organization also served as an early precursor to the Scouting movements. Though officially an institution "above politics", the Sokol played an important part in the development of Czech nationalism, providing a forum for the spread of mass-based nationalist ideologies. The articles published in the Sokol journal, lectures held in the Sokol libraries, and theatrical performances at the massive gymnastic festivals called Slets (Czech plural: slety) helped to craft and disseminate the Czech nationalist mythology and version of history.

These three and their vehicle "Snow-white" leave their homes week after week to please the auditory in faraway places of the country and sometimes even further, from As in the west to Trinec in the east. A guitar, an accordion, two singing voices and the drums, together make a relaxing atmosphere in a tearoom as well as they are able to demolish the ruins (remains) of the Strahov stadium by using their energy. They were awarded for their first album with Angel Award (Czech Pop Music Academy Award). They were awarded for their second album with another Angel Award. At the moment they are working on the third album. There is the manager and music producer Zeno Vaclavik in the backround of all of this. He is always seen with two mobiles in his ears and all fingers and toes on the keyboards. Zambosi play their own repertoire that is written in 96,43% by Honza Zamboch. Their songs are most often called folk chanson, but Zambosi do not bother. They released the album To se to hraje... (It is easy to play...) in 2006 and album Prituhuje (It's getting cold) in 2009. They got the highest possible award for both of them -- The Angel Award, an award from the Czech Pop Music Academy. Honza is happy, because he takes it as a good sign, that his music is of a good quality, Stana has mixed <b>...</b>
