The world of poetry and reality: When Konstantin Wecker was a young man, there was a definite gap. The musician admits that he had a “stupid behavior”.
According to his own words, musician Konstantin Wecker often did not behave the way he described it in his lyrics, especially as a young man.
“In my life I have been richly gifted with texts that were sometimes far ahead of me,” said the 75-year-old to the “Frankish Day”. “I still remember how, as a young man, I had a really stupid demeanor, just like young men often do. But in my texts this stupid demeanor was not expressed even then. »
His texts were thoughtful, witty and humanistic, although he himself was “still on the move in a completely different way at the time. My lyrics were smarter than myself.”
The Munich resident is considered by many to be an icon of resistance to the right. His ballad “Willy” about a young man who is killed by neo-Nazis in a bar fight is a cult song. At festivals, vigils, demos and concerts, the singer-songwriter calls for a fight against right-wing violence and hate speech, and his music contains messages and criticism of abuses.
