Citizen #22:
Miestrâ Schivâ | > I knew people of the same conviction, who went to Tirana, too, but they didn't get to meet Hoxha. I kind of envied them for having seen an almost unreachable touristic destination, but I didn't fully understand why Albania should be a role model for West Germany.
I asked the elders of my organisation, "Why Albania?!?" Their excuse: "We were all working-class fellows who weren't used to reading books. Our elders when we joined told us that Albania was where it was happening and we had no reason to disbelieve them. Then, twenty years later, we actually read the works of Hoxha and Stalin, and realised that they were counter-revolutionary bastards."
> Going on a tangent, the German service of Radio Tirana was living in a future that nobody knew about; I once heard how they reported that the revolution had begun in Bremen.
Radio Tiranë was well known for being a bundle of laughs. Dan Wardlow, former Seneschál whom I visited in San Francisco almost ten years ago, told me that as a teenager he and his friends would get stoned off their faces and listen to the Voice of the Albanian Party of Labour for cheap laughs.
> I was amaazed by Radio Tirana's version of the Internationale, very bombastic, with thundering kettle drums and a lot of brass.
You think that's amazing? Check out the Chinese hair-metal version. (Source)
