Rocking northern Europe 1
I just hit Denmark after a weekend of rock and roll at the Immergut Festival in Germany. I actually slept in a tent twice, but I made sure to complain about it the whole time. Having always missed out on Roskilde Festival in Denmark, I’d like to pretend that I’ve now had an authentic music festival experience, but we had shiny green backstage passes which meant no teenagers, no kebabs, no pushing for first row, and lots of free beer. I think the real thing involves a lot more mud and slobbering. It was educative all the same. Just ask me to say something about music piracy in German.
The writers convention in Ankelohe made me really want to write a book about climate change. Instead I wrote a short summary about the whole thing for openDemocracy. And so, in spite of desperately little contact with the internet this week, it’s been a productive journey. Back in New York on June 4.






It appears that Texas’s annual Kerrville Music Festival, currently in progres, has a German cousin. Sehr Gut!
