"In old age, two things are important: radicalism and mastery."
Udo Lindenberg is the epic figure of German pop. He helped create a counterculture that influences the country to this day and changed it for the better. Until the mid-1970s, rock ’n’ roll was a purely Anglo-American affair in Germany. Then Udo came along and changed everything. Half a century later, he’s still here – and bigger and more successful than ever.
Udo tells the whole story: the failings and triumphs, defeats and victories. Based on Udo Lindenberg’s memories, reports by companions and members of his group, the Panikorchester, as written down by Thomas Hüetlin – the book is a gift for all fans, a one-of-a-kind document of contemporary history and a breakneck ride through seven decades of the Federal Republic of Germany, with numerous illustrations by the master himself.
