King Buzzo Judenburg 05 Sep 2014 - Rock Is Hell 10th Anniversary

[jules]

When East Germany ceased to exist in 1990, the Stasi (the secret police of the DDR) were out of a job. Nobody would employ them, obviously, as they were all hated and despised, so most of them became taxi drivers. The saying goes that if you wanted to get to a certain address in Berlin around that time, you'd get in a taxi, tell the driver the name of the person you were visiting, and he'd take you to his house.

If you go to the taxi office outside Judenburg railway station in Austria and show the clerk a Melvins patch, the next available driver will touch the end of his nose twice with his right index finger and drive you directly to the crybaby's house.

Photos and a proper review to follow.

  Love the Stasi stories. I watched a show about their sordid history, hosted by Roger Moore.
If I remember correctly, he said they had three quarters of the populace under some sort of surveillance.
