Or was it vice verse-a? Damn, this guy really must have a drug problem. Pete Doherty outraged a German crowd and got booed off the stage by singing the not-quite-verboten-but-might-as-well-be first verse of the Deutschlandlied (you know, Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, blah, blah, blah) at something called the On3 Music Festival in Munich.

This guy was definitely on more than 3 too. And although this is a bad thing and all I guess (the singing part, not so much the booing), to add insult to injury (I mean to insult), word is also out that straight and sober and REAL musician-entertainer-type Heino HIMSELF just lost a big court case and will now have to shell out some 3.6 million euros for a concert tour he had to cancel due to illness, and not the mental kind type. There’s no justice in this world I tell you.

Die erste Strophe des Liedes war von den Nationalsozialisten zur faschistischen Propaganda missbraucht worden und wird heute nicht mehr gesungen. Allerdings ist sie auch nicht offiziell verboten. Die dritte Strophe bildet heute die deutsche Nationalhymne (“Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit”).
