Germany won't give a damn about these people who tried to fill the cultural vacuum of the post-war era. In everyday media coverage, the winner of "Jungle Camp" was more important -- which goes to say a lot about popular culture these days, not only in Germany.

Ohhh excuse me ... BM and Pep is more important in the news ... how dare I forget that commerciality!

I think Mozart got even less than that! As have many others! As much as you and i can get really sentimental, in the end, there are many that aren't.
