The musician, writer and comedian has mixed feelings about the internet and its impact on social cohesion. He doesn’t want anything to do with the lateral thinker movement.
Entertainer Helge Schneider has a mixed relationship with the Internet.
“You can also read a lot of junk online. I notice it in my children – this internet is just really poison. It’s like ying and yang, good and bad, ”said the 66-year-old (“ cat toilet ”) at“ Maischberger. The week”. It is good, for example, that musicians can become known. But a lot bothers him: “The social cohesion of our humanity is now based on claims from the Internet.”
In the beginning of the summer, he didn’t even notice the encouragement from the lateral thinker scene: “The Internet is full of some kind of crap, I don’t look in there. Especially when it comes to them, I’m not interested at all. ” In July, the musician, writer and comedian broke off a concert in Augsburg and said, among other things: “The system is simply threadbare and stupid.” But he was concerned with the concept of the concert with a six-meter-high stage and separate beach chairs, which made it impossible for him to get in touch with the audience. He also only found out later that the people walking around were not late arrivals, but waiters.
His criticism did not refer to Corona measures – and when he found out about the applause from this direction on the Internet, he told his agent to write something to make it clear that Schneider had nothing to do with it. “They don’t have to bother about me, I don’t join any organization of this kind.”
