Walter
Westrupp,
part of the legendary German psychedelic folk duo Witthüser &
Westrupp, takes you on a very personal, humorous and self-deprecating
journey back in time to the late 60s and early 70s. With texts, stories,
photos, videos and music clips, he recalls • hippies • layabouts •
communards • krautrock • the international Essen song days IEST 68
•
•
Podiumclub Essen • Love & peace-festival Fehmarn 70 •
trips, dreams, songs of the dead, their Jesus-mushroom- opera • Rolf
Ulrich Kaiser & his entourage • the invention of the sensational
tea bag lifting machine TEHOMA • the concert for electric coffee
grinder with rock band and symphony orchestra and much more.
He
says about this time:
• we were researchers, astronauts, pirates, globetrotters in an
unexplored, almost virgin environment ...
• at that time we realized ourselves through actions, through music,
and we did our things ...
• we weren't missionaries - not even revolutionaries - we only did
what we enjoyed ourselves ...
• we lived as a small group in a parallel world ...
• we were young people who moved away from the dusty ideas of parents,
society, politics - who looked for our own way off the beaten track...
...
on the way to ourselves.
