Der mit der Luft schimpft

Shit Happens, Flowers at the Gates of Hell, Dachshund Blood, Grandma Hans, Kommando Sonne-nmilch, N.R.F.B., Old Sow, Mouth Group … You can bet: If at some point, say in 2077, for the hundredth anniversary of punk, clever descendants are asked to name the best lyricist and singer of German-speaking punk, their vote will be for Jens Rachut. The over 130 lyrics in "Der mit der Luft schimpft," selected by Jens Rachut himself and accompanied by illustrations from Raoul Doré, provide an insight into a literary mastery that has nothing to do with pleasing pandering to the feuilleton. The coordinates here are not aimed at fleeting writing school fame but at original observations and stories that only Jens Rachut can express so succinctly and precisely. Bonus: A QR code at the end of the book leads to Jens Rachut's 25 most beautiful hiking songs from four decades, illustrated by Raoul Doré.
