1985

1985 – I make an internship at the Taz and then become a freelance author for them. In the NDR-Talkshow the female host reads my slating review of his latest album to the puzzled german Rockstar Udo Lindenberg ("the Taz lately wrote about you: ..."). However, the most letters from readers I ever received came after my piece, “How I Became a Feminist”, where I describe how I am constantly mistaken for a woman after moving to Hamburg. This mix-up haunts me for the next 20 years.
