  20.03.2012 in Think!

  In schöner Regelmässigkeit fällt der Gesellschaft und der Presse auf, dass Führungspositionen oder Parteimandate, Arbeitsstellen oder Studienplätze, unproportional in der Bevölkerung aufgeteilt sind. Mal sind es zuviele Frauen, mal zu wenig Ausländer, Alte, Junge, Menschen mit oder eben ohne Migationshintergrund. In diesem Kontext fällt oftmals auch der Begriff “Chancengleichheit”.

For this occasion the 10 musicians (11 during that time) invited all former members of the band to join them for one very special evening.

  Saw U2 for the second time on their 360° Tour in Amsterdam yesterday evening. After quite a stressful drive to the capital of the Netherlands, and the quest for the right train to the Stadium (thanks to the dutch guys who were so kind to help us out) we got there several minutes before the [...]

First of all, this man amazed me. He’s a gifted singer/songwriter who plays sad and slow folk songs, just he and his guitar. [...]

• AC/DC Black Ice Tour – Cologne, Germany 19/05/2009

  20.05.2009 in Listen!, Touring!

  I had the great luck to get tickets for this AC/DC Tour (german stadium concerts were sold out in 77 minutes). They are one of the few bands that one has absolutely to see in your life (or theirs) comparable to the Rolling Stones or for british heavy metal fans maybe Iron Maiden, too. As [...]
