In this third collaboration of Oliver Augst and Raymond Pettibon the text-body "The
Whole World Is Watching: Weatherman '69" is used as a musical-libretto
and performed as a kind of trash musical, by an "all star band" exclusively
put together for this occasion.
HE HAS AN ELECTRIC GUITAR, AND THAT´S AT LEAST AS BAD AS A GUN
"The scene screams!" (DLF); "Rotary experiment of revolution" (taz); "History
is called off. Melancholy of terror." (Der Tagesspiegel);
