      That's how musical careers worked in Eastern Germany back then. To get acknowleged as a musician you had to go to a musical college and get a degree. That's what he says about much being about sports back then as every stateowned comany had its own sports compartment but music was hard to get in professionally. Also the lyrics were strictly watched by the government. Everything remotely not approved was banned and maybe even imprisoned as an enemy of the state. That's why Rock music from that time (known as 'Ostrock' / 'Eastern Rock') is known for its cryptic lyrics about freedom using many metaphors. So yeah, shame they didn't elaborate on that as it's quite an interesting and twisted subject.

    I have loved this band for twenty years. I can sing the vast majority of the entire Sehnsucht album, and I cannot speak a single sentence in German otherwise. This band gave me insight on how it feels for people who aren't from the US to spend all of their time listening to American music. It was the first time I had found a band who didn't speak English and who I loved so much that I didn't care.

Besides being the best live show I’ve ever seen, they walked down a ramp from back stage not only w/ the American flag, but the Arizona flag as well.
