Very nice! I think a degree of unconventionality is a feedback loop for individualistic thinking ability and open mindedness, leading to the realisation that time is traded for money, and vice versa, that you can’t let others decide your future if you want to be free, hence saving and investing 
Hi
Likewise, other than the lowest of the low bottom-feeding shit like Greek trap, Serbian turbofolk, Greek dog music and other similar stuff that make me want to stick an icepick in my ear.
Ahhh good old Falco, still love putting his Greatest Hits on. Junge Roemer!
He was quite a character and a bit of a ‘rap’ pioneer.
Speaking of rap pioneers … anno 1982:
Nice censoring by YT as well as it’s apparently not appropriate to say “people pissing on the street” …
Dirty rap: this one is uncensored and far away from family safe, tap the ears of your children. I think he wanted to go against Trump and become president…

He is just so versatile and makes it look almost easy - like riding a bike. Incredible talent (even if I don’t like all his music).
And because my MOFO home portfolio did perform very nice in 2025: Ali G destroys “help the aged”…
Time for some Rolling Stones.
Time for some Dead Kennedys… and a good war, maybe against a “moderately repressive regime” in South America? Anyway, we need that oil.
