tearing up the other day, this scene in a TV movie: On a German campsite, loud music of Heino penetrates from a mobile home, and annoyed in his forties, holding something to his pop music tastes, the door to complain at Omi and Opi.

After a good twenty years of irony discourse in the Popkritik this Pointe is not for some, maybe only a tired of mass – market rip-off-but one that demonstrates a continued existence of the clamp between the mind and feeling: to enjoy something, what is actually “even”.

Like many teenage dreams, long after, in 1985, negotiated to hang to “The Power of Love” on the way to school with a Skateboard easy casual to a site like Marty McFly in the formative movie “Back to the future” to save with a guitar solo the world and are still in good time back at home in bed: “Back in Time” – as Huey Lewis sings? Yes, a good dream maybe – with the basic optimistic songs as a warm Cover.
