Our Udo Lindenberg: Uns Udo, unser Udo...
In the HAMBURGER BAHNHOF. in Berlin last night. A Primadonna and Maestro - written from the perspective of a critical fan and contemporary "follower"...
Times pass bye - I had my kick last night in the curated exhibition !
Not again as yesteday and the day before one "leaving us" but Udo alife in retrospect - a person with shared tracks "on the road". Incredible. In the early 70ies he only rocked in Onkel PÖ in Eppendorf....
He had no place for rehersal these days.... - A "nobody" ... Well I had a neighbour playing her Querflute (German transverse flute) in his band, and I was in charge of our AULA in our Students Home HAUS BAUHÜTTE. So no big deal to convince the Kuratorium....
All this flashed into my mind last night when revisiting UDO 40 years ago, or so - so long before PANKOW....
Later I globetrotted to check out the "New World" - and he continued on his track on stage with the Panik-Orchestra - he stayed "as is" very successful - I moved and changed globetrotting first places, later issues...
Udo - all too often was too stoned when I saw him - but so is life. We had more time in 2000 at EXPO 2000 in Hannover - and we sang some unsung songs ....
Today him feartured alife in an exhibition that is quite something.
Definitely: AFTER THE HORIZON - THERE IS ANOTHER DAY. Hinterm Horizont gehts weiter....
strange times those days - sooo much freedom we had those days - and so strange things we did when we were young, when the skies were more open and the ranges more free, as we innocently justed moved on...
