How to put this????

Imagine coming to another world, one where you can communicate, but know little about. And there are people who stun you with intellect, like T'homas Bernhard, or Hilde Spiel, or politicians who are so amazing in comparison to what you knew, you stay in the game in order to be a part of something.... and over decades, there are entertainers who become very beloved. First, something from the year after Austria became the second republic in 1956. A silly comedy, has something to do with twins, but typical for the times. I love the last moment of it.



Peter Alexander influenced generations of the tee-vee public. He had variety shows, he could sing well, did killer parodies of local legends, was never afraid to push the envelopes just a little bit..... I guess you could put him up as our version of Ed Sullivan, as far as the tee-vee shows went, just legendary. That is what he became.

But the main thing he projected was a quiet decency and sense of dignity. He was a very talented man, and passed on I just read. He was 84, and had a very productive life and was a good influence on people. And made them smile.
