What did Fletch actually say there?

@swat1290 "we seemed in the 80s really to be doing a one band crusade for electronic music, y'know"

I saw everything counts on MTV in 1983 and I was hooked! I was one of those alienated American youth who walked around wearing eye liner and wanted to be British. Had my own synthesizer too! Depeche Mode got me started on a lifetime romance with electronic/acousmatic music. Then I discovered Einsturzende Neubauten, and the possibilities were endless!

"The music will appeal to alienated youth everywhere,....AND GERMANS!"

Effing hilarious but also true!

[MrWilliestrokes]

@patriasuevia you are right it is a classic line. i must be the alienated youth ( albiet about 40 years old ) coz i am 100 per cent not german. :)

[patriasuevia]

@MrWilliestrokes Ich bin ein von den Anderen entfremdeter Deutscher. Das ist wohl eine doppelte Bürde :-)

I'm a German, who's alienated from others. Guess that is a double burden :-)

[MrWilliestrokes]

@patriasuevia you are correct my friend,maybe we are all the same.i am alienated too.depeche mode bring us all together .greetings from the uk to deutschland

[patriasuevia]

@MrWilliestrokes That is right! Depeche has told us all that People are People, and I also can't understand what makes a man hate another man!

Let us all have a Black Celebration! Greetz to Britain!
