MY LIFE WITH FALCO

a short story - to develop in time


Do it again....

 

1979 Austrian Chaos Band "Drahdiwaberl" is out and around,

1985    in November (?) im off to see my first Falco Concert in the Wiener Stadthalle (damn i lost the tick). Standing in the pit and leaving while he sings Amadeus als last encore.

1986    in November  i head see my second Falco Concert in the Wiener Stadthalle.  Siting in the auditorium. Not leaving (definitely).

 

1998 Feb 8. Saturday. 8.20 am Im sleeping, while the phone rings and wakes me up. It's Franz on the line, he's ending his night-shift as a news coordinator for austrian automobil club.

"Did you hear, Falco is dead!" - "What?" - "Carcrash". Funny, but I accepted this immediately. "This will be a state funeral", I predicted, 10.000s of people, former mayor of vienna, Zilk  will say the last words and DORO will film it." "You think so?" "Definitly!" 

Then I turned on the telly: no news, then, first on teletext, then, at 9 am in the news... 

One week later, i could proove iwas right.
