ward report 26.11.09, room 72, patient Matthias Kulcke (short: "K")
Since several hours after supper K is standing in front of the mirror and is asking himself questions regarding live show-experience with the band "KiEw". From his questions it can be deduced that the occasion which has triggered this is the supposedly upcoming one hundredth concert (an inquiry by Sister Hildegard concerning this question has put forth that there is in fact a group therapy session scheduled and it will be session number one hundred with the inmates of room 72).
While doing this the patient K is holding a hairbrush as if talking into a microphone which he also presents to his mirror image, for the answers to be caught on imaginative recording. He also gives the replies himself speaking out loud. The following transcript from this dialogue was written down by the warden on duty:
"Which where experiences in the last 17 years during the many KiEw concerts which represent the cutting edge of live-experience for you?"
"The cutting edge," (laughs) "that reminds me of fixation- or guitar-straps in Moscow, which" (laughs hysterically) "then have to be replaced with broken guitar cable which during one and a half hour really has the tendency to cut into the left shoulder." (laughs and laughs while the interviewer shows no facial expressions) "But you aren't laughing at all."
"Of course I am laughing, everything else would be impossible! Were there at least any moments in your live, where you felt anything like being Bruce Springsteen, performing 'Dancing in the Dark' as in that fake live video on MTV?"
(laughing absurdly to himself) "You seem to be hinting at the concert in the "Markthalle" in Hamburg and the first live presentation of "Degenerationsprogramm", although we didn’t have the habit to invite women onto the stage, but rather we came jumping down" (laughing in fact so abnormally you could confuse him with professor doctor Feinfinger) "onto their feet. This happens, obviously, when it is too dark for dancing.
"Lately, not yet 15 years ago, you have once again, talking to representatives of the international press of Winsen and surrounding area, put emphasis on the statement that you see live performances as a general persiflage of being in a band. Is that still the case today, what is your stand (laughs) on this issue, or why should that be different now and what will be the present for your little sister for Christmas?"
(cries) "I don't have a present so far and the shops are closing soon. That is why I have to remind you, back then there were at least angels with us on stage and Santa Claus would certainly have found socks to put presents in. Instead I was accused of denting the hood of a car, something that is not comparable with the lowlyness off the final money-count, and all this happening in a house of God." (knawing sadly on the microphone)
