Some sad news to report about Syd Barrett - news reports today say that he passed away a couple of days ago:

Peter Green & the famous "Highfish Commune" in Munich 1970
 
Hello there,

"Fleetwood Mac"- and "Peter Green"-fans should know that Rainer Langhans, famous former member of well known German communes, writes in an article ("Autobiography"/"Car-Biography") that he and his former girl-friend Uschi Obermaier met Peter Green in Munich, where they invited him to their (then well known) "High-Fish-Commune" (High-Fish = "stoned fish / shark"-commune): http://www.debrebant.de/pdf/auto.pdf

It seems that Langhans and Obermaier were not really interested in Peter Green. - They just wanted to get in contact with Mick Taylor.

Langhans and Obermaier wished to organize a "Bavarian Woodstock". They wanted Jimi Hendrix and "The Rolling Stones" to be the leading stars of their Bavarian open air festival. - They needed the "Green God" just to get in contact with "The Rolling Stones" via Mick Taylor.

Read more about it, in the "Rolling Stone"-Forum (in German):
Peter Greens Trauma-Nacht mit deutschen Kommunarden 1970: http://forum.rollingstone.de/showthread.php?t=29009

By the way: Rainer Langhans' girl-friend Christa Ritter tells she's gonna make a movie about Peter Green's Munich accident: Peter Green’s (Ex-Fleetwood Mac) Trauma-Nacht mit deutschen Kommunarden 1970:

Last, not least: Please excuse my "English". I'm used to listen and read (in) English, but I'm not used to write in English. Sorry.

Regards,
Popmuseum

It would be nice if Christa would also be able to lay a hand on the recordings made, and get them published. :]

And, like I mentioned elsewhere: do not apologise for your "poor" English. At least you get further than most native English speaking get with German or whatever other language.:lol:

I'm sure you're correct, Wouter, although I could understand "wir haben getrippt und gejammt" ;) Pretty cool info from Popmuseum - thanks!

P.S.: Mit diesem Posting habe ich Wouter Vuijks Wunsch nach einem Wienerischen Beitrag erfüllt und hoffe, dass er das Posting ins Angelsächsische überführt. Danke!

Bist a Weana Strizzi :sorry: oder bist a Fiaker, ein Herr Graf oder ein Herr Doktor. :-) Servus

off-topic-reply: Austrian charme (imitated by James Joyce)
 
„… and believe me, my dear Miss Beach,
to be,
your most obedient servant,
und indessen erlaube ich mir an Euch beide die
Versicherung meiner Hochachtung auszudrücken“
(James Joyce to Adrienne Monnier and Sylvia Beach, 3. September 1928).

Wouter Vuijk 01-30-2008 08:16 PM

Off topic too, just for fun

Rainer Langhans: "Ich bin's - Die ersten 68 Jahre. Die Autobiographie"
256 pages & 16 pages photographs.
19,90 Euro
ISBN: 978-3-936738-34-6
Published: February 2008

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...VL._AA240_.jpg

Popmuseum 03-04-2008 01:16 PM

Pages 114-116 of Langhans' Autobiography tell how Langhans and Obermaier have invited Greenie to their commune (Castle Kronwinkl near Landshut), how they spent some time together, that the communards met Greenie two weeks later twice in London and that Greenie had helped the communards to get in contact with the Rolling Stones.

Langhans tells that the members of Fleetwood Mac believe that the communards are guilty of Greenies mental breakdown.

(Don't forget to excuse my English. But I'm only used to read English but not to write in English. This time i made an exception, because i thought you're interested to read what is written in Langhans brandnew autobiography).
