There was a full page 4 colour photo of Wolfgang Flür in the homosexual magazin "Don" some years ago. Perhaps he was more interested in boys or earning money from beeing_no_member of the band Kraftwerk.

Any chance you could break that 300M .mpg file into smaller chunks for those of us without large hard disks to peruse either as a download from The Group or possibly 'Streaming'? I'm sure, even though, many of us on the list don't speak the language, we'd still like to view it - then maybe one of us who _does_ speak the language could post their translation as best as they can... ...just a thought/request...

Yes, the German version of the book is supposed to be less 'toned-down', according to fellow list members...Ralf and Florian sued Wolfgang for some quotes he used. The English version has been changed from the original, with a lot of 'I think' and 'Perhaps'...I havent read either, its hard to find a copy in the USA... omegaChance _____________________________________ MAIL: Omega(a)herzeleid.net AIM: omegaChance ICQ: 96951338 MSN: IAMomegaChance(a)hotmail.com Y!M: IAMomegaChance(a)yahoo.com WEB: http://www.mp3.com/omegaChance _____________________________________________________________ Run a small business?

I look forward to seeing you as a member at the CV club, we have alot of fun over there. Can I daydream for a moment? Can you imagine this evening: a double bill of Ralf & Florian, and Richard & Stephen? Would that be one awesome show? I am dreaming, I know, but I think that would be a truly magical evening! Imagine the sounds they could create together! You work on R & F, I'll work on R & S ... ;-) a girl can dream, can't she?

Thanks Jay, I must ashamedly admit that I'm a KW newbie, but have fallen head over heals in love with the band and their music! I was in England last week, saw the book and bought it, so I could learn a little more about the band. The book and Wolfgang's writing style is very interesting, I would love to read it 'auf deutsch' because of that. Kraftwerk are awesome! pat >From: "Oh Jay" <oh_jay(a)freenet.de> >Reply-To: kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com >To: <kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: Re: Re: [Kraftwerk] before some things get out of hand once again >... >Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 19:08:11 +0200 > >From: "Pat Slade" <pslade99(a)hotmail.com> > > > Hey, I'm new to this list, so definitely don't want to offend anyone. > >welcome to "the crazy world of kw fan(atic)s" , dear pat !!! :-) > > > Wolfgang writes about this in his book, his explanation is > > that he did it because he needed the money... > >well ... i must admit that i've never really read his book , nor any other >book >about kw , because i'm ONLY interested in the image of the band that is >portrayed through their music , concerts & covers !!! >nothin' more or less than this !!! ;-) > >however ... many greetinx , > >oh jay ;-) > >*~\^/~* > > >_______________________________________________ >Kraftwerk mailing list >Kraftwerk(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kraftwerk _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

In his book Flur mentions that he posed for the magazine in the late 1970's because he needed the money, implying that Kraftwerk did not pay well.
