Germany — You’ve Come a Long Way in 20 Years!

Listening to a news podcasts on the ride in to work this morning, I was reminded that this is a very special time for our German teammates.

On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall came down.

On November 8, 2009, for a second consecutive year, a German cyclist of the undisciplined team Positivo Espresso claimed the JCRC D-Class championship. As an American member of the team, I was proud to just share the moment. Of course, there was another American named David who shared that moment 20 years ago … singing his #1 hit on the German charts, „Looking for Freedom“:

For the first time I feel like I am beginning to understand THIS post by a German teammate.

But I will never understand THAT one.

    The German nes magazine Spiegel commented last week on the David in charge (unfortunately only in German).http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/musik/0,1518,659301,00.html"Hasselhoff in BerlinThe collective guilt of bad tasteDavid Hasselhoff is the most popular singer in Germany – a generation of Germans abroad have been haunted by this prejudice.He was almost forgotten, but now MTV is bringing him back on stage in Berlin."

  2. David, don't worry. I don't understand it either.
