Oh Shit!
I Remember
While in army service, civil outfit and clean cut hair but the eyes filled with the ganja I had out of a downtown café in Berlin, heading on foot to whatever improvised underground party I just had heard about through a flyer glued at ZoologisherGarten’s subway.
Only to meet there a eastern spy under whose charming spell I’d fall. And then nights of what was simple get-to-know each other, or so I thought.
To an extent wich caused me quite a scrutiny from the allied forces. He was a known eastern agent, after all. Known to them in another way than he was to me… Just an exotic adventure on my side, more of an entry to the French army PC for him/them. I guess he got the entryway, just not the one he had hoped for :-)
His name was Aleksander, quite well trained at acting gay alike in bed. Managed to offer me the best bottle of Coteaux du Layon 1964, pure nectar (my birth year, he had gone through my credentials obviously).
I was forbiden to make contact with him ever again. Though of course I never ceased to wonder what’s become of him. Shame on those officials that can have that grip on you when you’re young.
Remains the music, powerful trigger of whatever memories we do not even know we stored.
And I’m still willing to dance and shake my 20 y/o bones to that music.
Cheers!

Sisters of Mercy, This Corrosion, Lucretia, my reflection. Making me feel a hundred years old. Oh, wait. I’m going to hold at 99. I appreciate the retro. Going on a Apple buy binge now.
@Anon: One big regret from back in these days: being stranded at my section -whatever the stupid reason for - the night they were touring in Berlin.
Nowadays they’re on a hard-drive, awaiting to be played once in a while, hopefully for one of my nephew to prick up their ears at the sound of them.
A night of fun and mystery. And bedfellows. I bet your full of some fun and hot stories.
Well, I had my moments. This one has been a melting-pot of cool, sensual, adventurous and a bit scary on the edges. The mix that makes a series episode good, and being young totally worth it.
