Hi Bo!

TK>> But it isn't aired in Germany. :-( I think it has even changed. Now
TK>> it's the same as all the others. Back then it was *really* cool.
BS> Okey. Nearly every thing was more funny in the past..
At least it seem so. We had a vacation year ago with 5 friends. After 3  
years they wanted to go to the same place for a vacation. And... like I  
said... you can't repeat old times.

BS> Like fidonet and so on..
Yeah, but now are only a few of us left, but they are interested. In the  
Internet is often only crap told. Question like "male or female" have  
never been asked on the Fidonet.

BS> I mean it's still funny but we are only representing denmark we 10
BS> active nodes or something.
_Just 10?_ That's not pretty much for a land of this size.

TK>> About 10 years ago MTV was better. I've got a "Dire Straits
Weekend"
TK>> on VHS. :-)
BS> Dire Straits is cool :) I'm right now listening to Twisting by pool :)
Yeah, they are. I've been the my first music-concert back in 1992 in  
cologne to see the Dire Straits. After hearing Mark Knopfler play the  
guitar made me start taking lessons on the guitar.

TK>> When I see those talent-shows here in Germany. They show the castings
TK>> on TV an can be sure to have a star, even when the havent got a cd
TK>> ready.
BS> Oh i hate that kind of shows, we had "Pop stars" the last
winner is like a
BS> Gay.
That's right. We had "Popstars", too. It seem to be this successful that  
now the next show "Star Search" is aired in Germany.

TK>> They don't have any cost. The casting is sold to the TV-station, the
TK>> audience can interact and choose the star. But they only take single
TK>> persons who are willing to do *their* stuff. The don't support a band
TK>> that works for several years and does their own stuff.
BS> Most people is doing it to get famous.
Yes, but why is the audience supporting them? That's what I don't  
understand.

TK>> No. They would have an own opinion of what they would play.
BS> Yes the tv station is having that?
Sorry, having what? Own opinion? They will play what the customer wants to  
see.

BS>>> Underground? What style of music?
TK>> Well. I listen to ska a lot. But it's difficult to get some cds over
TK>> here.  :_(
BS> Huh?
It really is. If you are lucky you find on or two ska-cds in the store.  
That's it. :-(((

BS>>> Music and money has nothing todo with eachother, only for loosers.
TK>> Music is a passion. Thats it. If I can earn money with that, it's
TK>> great, but I don't make it for the money.
BS> Yes that is one good oppinion to making music :)
Do you make music? I'm playing in a band.

NP: Dire Staits - Telegraph Road (real great composion)
