The bit too funny-looking cover would have me confused with other musicians, with him not. This misconception pervades his entire career. Purple Schulz is just a cutesy guy visually. He knows that he is flirting with it and even three watching when he emphasizes tried seriously, he still looks good mood. This is only insofar annoying that it probably is one reason that many have not really him on the list, which his music could well be something. "Lovers boys" was not silly as Grönemeyer's "men" and also gave himself the big hits "Sehnsucht (I want to get out)", "Ponds" and "A Walk to Remember" the views of a very thoughtful and above all very poetic people free.

And the maturity rather leads to more substance with an imaginary, even at Kölsch cheerful natures way. "So and not otherwise" a cross Streif is by all walks of life, still sometimes loose and comedic, but only once, usually thoughtful with surprising arrangements, angry sometimes without stage, in Rocker Poznan á la Springsteen or Maffay. That would not suit him. Purple Schulz Purple Schulz is still authentic, credible, thoughtful and profound than many people think, yet felt pleasurable and cheerful. He's just 15 years better, yes and probably older.
One can only wish that he not only makes the next record with 71. Had a real shame.
