Nick Hornby said he was writing books, because he cannot write pop songs. Jens Friebe can. Many celebrate him as Germany’s only pop star - others despise him persistently. Nevertheless he has produced three albums, with brains in his texts and heart in his voice.He did “The Hornby” as well and published the chronicle of a party year: 52 Wochenenden. 52 Wochenenden is about Friebe going out, standing around, doing a lot and making a night of it. He wittily shares about the profundities and trivialities of everyday life: My whistle stop and lonely appearance was, what should I say, fabulous. There were numerous technical problems, the mike stand sank permanently, so that in the end I sang with my head lying on the piano. People love things like that. They don’t want a performance going off without a hitch. They want you to stand your ground up there. At the Immergut Jens Friebe stands his ground with a reading at Birkenhain. No matter if warbling or devouring, in the end it will be the three letter word: P-O-P.
