Rock legend Bora Đorđević died on September 4 last year, and the city of Čačak and his family have erected a monument on the grave of the legendary frontman of “Riblja Čorba” at the City Cemetery in Čačak.
According to the famous musician’s wish, his monument features two crossed guitars, just as he wrote in the last song the group “Riblja Čorba” recorded.
-Don’t waste money in vain, I’m not that important a figure, cross two guitars, let that be the monument. The medical council issues a statement every day, to let the public know, how sick I am. Send my body to Čačak, to Serbia.. leave my heart in Ljubljana, let it be there. Don’t waste money in vain, I’m not that important a figure. Cross two guitars, let that be the monument, the lyrics of the song say.
