The Cosmos was Rocking in Munich

2008-10-02

Last night the rest of Queen with Paul Rodgers were in the Olympiahalle in Munich as part of their “The Cosmos Rocks” tour – and a couple of fans including myself were there, too,1 and they were in for a great rock concert in which a few old men could show that they still got what it takes.

The stage, by the way, contained a nice video wall showing some animations as well as Freddie Mercury who thus sung Bijou and Bohemian Rhapsody, a smal stage (almost) in the middle of the arena, Oktoberfest hats and accordion for 39, and the guys really seemed to enjoy singing and playing – and (which some folks were searching for here) without support group, the Queen rest + Paul Rodgers (plus Spike Edney, Jamie Moses and Danny Miranda) managed it on their own to rock from approx. 20:15 to 22:30.

Set list (hopefully without mistakes, but no guarantee):

Intro
Surf’s Up… School’s Out! (from the new album)
Tie Your Mother Down
Fat Bottom Girls
Another One Bites The Dust
I Want It All
I Want To Break Free
C-lebrity (from the new album)
Seagull (Paul solo; song by Bad Company)
Love Of My Life (Brian + audience)
39 (acoustic, with Oktoberfest hats…)
Drum solo (Roger, starting with some bass percussion (or whatever you may call it: playing with drumsticks on a contrabass), then on a drum set that was extended one part after another, on the front stage)
I’m In Love With My Car (Roger sings)
A Kind Of Magic (Roger sings)
Say It’s Not True (first Roger, then Brian, then Paul came back)
Bad Company (song by Bad Company (duh))
Feel Like Makin’ Love (song by Bad Company)
Guitar solo
Bijou (with Freddie shown on screen, singing)
Last Horizon
Radio Ga Ga
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
The Show Must Go On
Bohemian Rhapsody (with Freddie shown on screen, singing)
Cosmos Rockin’ (from the new album; start of the encore, as planned, of course)
All Right Now (song by Free)
We Will Rock You
We Are The Champions
God Save The Queen

Projekt 52 week 40: When I look through the window…

2008-10-01

The topic of week 40 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

When I look through the window…

So einen schönen Ausblick wie manch andere hab ich hier mitten in der Stadt ja nun leider nicht…

Week 40: When I look through the window…

A wide-angle view from my inner city window – showing the old house that I already presented for “Opposites” at an earlier stage of its restauration in the center, the blue sky on Monday (probably the last one this week…) and my sun-lit fly-screen.

Extraterrestrial Greetings to Uri!

2008-09-30

The following message was received by my hyper-highly sensitive cimddologically enhanced sensors on twisted routes through as yet unresearched space-time loops – hence I could not determine its exact origin in space and time yet.

To: Uri Geller and his soul mates
From: Your friends from the planet ...1
Subject: Heeelloooo!

Dearest Friends,

We were really really excited about your message, since we really couldn’t imagine that there were still sooo many wacked out dreamers that believe in us. That’s totally cool! It causes huge POSITIVE VIBRATIONS!

Specially for you, our greatest fans, we immediately set out holistically to fly to you. Unfortunately, due to subtle space-time turbulences in hyperspace, we can’t tell exactly when we will arrive, but with the support of the GREAT ORIGINAL GODDESS we will surely make it before the next after the next end of your world.

A ginormous load of UNIVERSAL ENERGY is waiting right for you... but, well, we have to talk a bit first, you see?

Dearest Uri,
please stop bending spoons all the time, that also bends space-time in the whole multiverse! We don’t like that that much, you know? Even simple stellarnet mails like this can be lost in time, and not even the MASTERS of the Universal Hierarchy can help then, and this makes them all sad.

Dearest Nina,
do you know that your styling is the latest fashion here on our planet now?!? Oh, and it was megagreat how you scared away that “sensible scientist” (pah!) – toootally celestial!2 Can you also give us some of your enormous LIGHT ENERGY? The colleagues from your last meeting were enthused about its mind-expanding effect!

Dearest Erich,
great how you made the journey to your own TRUTH and still can feed on it after so many years! But awww, it’s a pity that all your UFO evidence are mean counterfeits from the DEVIL. :( Pray to the LADY that She helps you find the right way again, then the ANGELS will bring you the *real* evidence that you are longing for so much.

Dearest Vincent,
oh come on, set the ravens free. It’s bad for the karma to use the creatures of Mother Nature, the All-Power, the GODDESS for one’s own purposes – and besides, all other ravens have to work overtime to guide all those souls to the KINGDOM OF THE DEAD. So please, set them free if you love them, will youuuu?

Okily-dokily, don’t be upset, hm? Hope to see you all soon!

Spiritual greetings with lots of violet love,
Your extraterrestrial friends

As Wunschliste.de reports (German), among others, ProSieben plans a show on November 15 called (translated) “Uri Geller live – Ufos & Aliens: The incredible TV experiment”, in which he wants to send messages with a radio telescope. Talk guests in the studio: “The Next Uri Geller” winner and raven daddy Vincent Raven, the ancient astronauts dreamer Erich von Däniken and “singer” and mysticism eccentric Nina Hagen.

unfortunately, there was a transmission error at this point ↺
They obviously refer to the little stir last year when she made Joachim Bublath leave due to her UFO babblings. ↺

Minor category modification

2008-09-30

Just a quick note that I’ve extended my category Religion (see the cloud in the sidebar on the right) to Mysticism & Religion because I didn’t like that all that mystic stuff resided under Science, even though that one rather meant Science and Anti-Science; the posts have moved accordingly.

And lest this post becomes too boring – even though the music quiz will start in nearly one hour – a little poem created by Poetron and quickly translated by me:

Farewell to the friend

The lovely one believe.
She may believe and experience!
Alas, mystic, terrible being you,
Why still pray for the ladies?
Eternity drowns,
The proper science believe,
And unkind nonsense poisons the hearts!
