Re: Re: [LUG] OT - What's up with Germany?

2001-10-30 by GAmoore@aol.com

I don't think the Nazi's are to blame for German music today. It doesn't 
take long for people to start creating based on what they are hearing. It 
certainly didn't take long for German industry to rebuild - and of course 
there was no software industry until there were computers - and that was 
what the original post was about - the German software industry - so they 
adapted quickly. 

Maybe it has to do with the fact that good followers are not always good 
leaders. Germans follow orders and learn their lessons. Brits and 
Americans question authority more. I don't know - maybe I'm stabbing in 
the dark here.

Another thought which I find strange .... Paul McCartney was born during 
WWII and his father was a firefighter ... i guess after the Germans 
dropped bombs. But then when he was 17 or 18, he and the rest of the 
Beatles went to Germany and played in clubs. Isn't that a short time span 
for reconciliation?
