    Those Were The Days - 20 Jahre Alphaville von Alexandra Wesche & Torleif Petzolt Thanks to … Alphaville, dafür, dass sie vor 20 Jahren be- schlossen haben musikalisch einen gemeinsamen Weg zu gehen, insbesondere Bernhard Lloyd, der uns mit seinen Erinnerungen bei der Arbeit an dieser Biographie geholfen hat und last but not least - den unendlichen Weiten des Inter- nets … PROLOG [by Marian Gold] WEN AUCH IMMER ES BETRIFFT Bang Button, 3 September 2054 Ich bin Reisender. Ich bin Freund, Beobachter, Bote, manchmal Schutzengel. Und ich bin ein Fan von Alphaville. Ich bin Alphaville oft begegnet, in ihren Anfängen in München oder, sorry, möglicherweise in Paris oder... Münster?? Ich war auf einem Konzert, das sie, glaube ich, 1981 nach der Release ihres Monsterhits 'Lassie come home' in Kinshasha gaben, in jener legendären Arena, in der Muhammed Ali gegen George Voorman boxte. Ich saß neben Marian, als er 1979 zusammen mit Michael diesen Millionendeal mit MCA unterschrieb und ich war derjenige, der ihn 20 Jahre später aus dem brennenden Autowrack in L.A. zog, kurz bevor er, na ja, das ist eine andere Geschichte... Es gibt so viele Geschichten, von Alphaville, von jedem von euch. Ich bin Reisender. Ich bin Freund, Beobachter, Bote und, wie gesagt, manchmal auch Schutzengel. Es ist die Neugierde, die mich treibt und jene seltsame Fähigkeit, die es mir ermöglicht, Welten zu besuchen, die ihr nur mit Hilfe eurer Träume betreten könnt. Darum beneide ich euch...Träume!! Zwar brauche ich sie nicht, denn schließlich kenne ich fast alle ihre Möglichkeiten, aber es muss ein tolles Spiel sein. Auf meinen langen Reisen war Alphavilles Musik immer ein wichtiger Begleiter.

I was at the concert they played, I think, after the release of their first mega-hit "Black Hole Door" in Kinshasa at that legendary arena where Mohammed Ali recently boxed against George Foreman.

There are so many stories, about Alphaville, about each of YOU. As I said, I am a traveller. It's curiosity that drives me on and a peculiar ability that enables me to journey the worlds which you can only enter via your dreams. - Throughout my widespread travels Alphaville has been a valued companion.

    $2.00 AFTERNOONS IN UTOPIA Tales of the New Time By STEPHEN LEACOCK Author of Innumerable Books on Innumerable Subjects • NEW BOOK by Stephen Leacock, entirely of new material, treating the new world Ato a new dose of laughter and satire, is an event of no little importance. AFTERNOONS IN UTOPIA is certainly a book of exception. All the world knows Stephen Leacock as a humorist, and the academic world is well aware of the existence of Professor Leacock, the economist. The dual personality thus in­ volved has been as frequent a subject of remark as that of the mathematical Lewis Carroll of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. But it remains for AFTERNOONS IN UTOPIA to reveal ~ts author in both personalities at once. These 1'ales of the New Time are not only laughable to the verge of tears, but at the same time philosophical to the verge of perplexity. They are equally absurd arid equally sound economics. In the tale called The Band of llrothers we get an idea, underneath the mere fun, of a serious indictment of commnnism. The Doctor alld the Contraption is an amusing picture of the further progress of medical science. The Fifty-Fifty Marriage shows us the directions in which the two sexes are inevit­ ably moving with rather queer consequences. Perhaps the most striking feature of the book is the series called Grandfather Goes to War, which sets before us, first, the adventurous and exciting warfare of a hundred years ago, then the ghastly slaughter of the War of Desola­ tion in 1950, and finally, the fascinating but quite harmless war in Utopia, all done by clockwork and wireless.
