    2013 feels like a creepy uncle who keeps trying to kiss me. I want to dodge it as much as possible!

    Marc, do you remember the German guy who was on KPCC on Saturday mornings? He used to play polkas and Heino was a particular favorite on his show.

    Yes! It's a vague memory, but there.

    Yes, Heino. The attitude of germans towards "Volksmusik" is strange. It has a steady fanbase but many people look down to it. Same with Heino. I think everybody knows him and often his songs are used in an ironic way (but maybe secretly enjoyed?). On beach parties on mallorca or cabin parties in the alps people would drink much beer and listen to popular but very simple and kitschy songs.
    Many comedians made fun of Heino and his fans but it only made him more famous. Not my cup of tea though.

    I was thinking the same thing! His eyes are scary bug eyes like Daryl Dragon from Captain and Tenille.
