Udo Lindenberg

I am working to improve my German in preparation for an upcoming trip. One of the pleasures of this task is finding out about German-language singers. I'd rather improve my vocabulary by learning songs than any other way. (This may result in some rather idiosyncratic language on my part, but I'm sure no one will mind.) Former favorites were Herbert Grönemeyer and 2ruamwohnung. Now I have discovered Udo Lindenberg and was able to get his most recent CD. My favorite song is Eigentlich bin ich ganz anders, loosely translated as Actually I'm Quite Different. Another favorite is Der Greis ist heiss (The Geezer is Hot). I am 2 years older than Lindenberg, but I have to admit I find him a little comical with his broad-brimmed hat pulled down to his nose.
