Katzeklo auf Räder
When HELGE composed Katzenklo in 1993, one could not yet
think that in the future it would be possible to see each other on the phone!
Complete utopia! Now, however, things look quite different!

KEY VISUAL Helge Schneider - Katzenklo auf Räder
Everybody has a cell phone, and the smallest children can
already handle these things like old people. The vacuum cleaner does its work
without cables and without instructions, and the lawn mower also does its duty,
no matter whether someone stands behind it or prepares the potato crate in the
cellar with Keim-Ex, so that the things do not germinate.
Litter box on wheels, does the master want to visit us on a
tricycle or something?
No, that's not possible at the moment, maybe in the future.
At the moment HELGE still needs four wheels to get to us with all his musical
instruments and Kladderadatsch! He is with his 68 years strangely neither aged,
nor does one notice it to him at all, on the contrary, he seems to become more
and more a child with the years, his stories lack any reference to gravity.
How he stands there and conducts his band with a thin
plastic stick, Herbert von Karajan, if he were still alive, he would certainly
ask HELGE if he could have lessons with him!
His band consists exclusively of living human beings, here
is nothing to be felt of the often awarded so-called "artificial
intelligence", one even gets the impression that this has nothing to do
with intelligence at all, pure force of nature, the sound!
"Are the hearing aids switched on, gentlemen?"
then we can start.
Would HELGE have been unconditionally given his wallet to
keep 30 years ago? I hardly think so! But today? Today you can do that with
ease. Because everything the master touches becomes pure pleasure. Give (you!) your (your!) wallet to the cashier, and they
will experience your (your!) blue miracle!
HELGE and his Travelling Stars!
Romantic songs alternate with utter nonsense. Laugh! Laugh!
Laugh!
