Synopsis

"If rock music is about something, it's about ecstasy." Rio Reiser In this very personal book, Gert Möbius describes the life of his brother, the great musician and eccentric Rio Reiser. A surprising personality with all her breaks and despairs, and at the same time a panorama of German music and political history become visible. Never before could you experience Rio Reiser so close, because this book contains numerous personal documents from which Gert Möbius first cites, also excerpts of a diary that Rio Reiser kept in the years 1972 to 1974, as well as numerous previously unpublished photos. With the anarchohymns "Keine Macht für Niemand" and "Macht kaputt, was euch kaputt macht", the band Ton Steine Scherben became the mouthpiece of the left scene, where alternatives, squatters and military objectors gathered and tried new concepts of existence. Gert Möbius describes the wild years in which the world was put upside down and back again using personal records and diaries of Rio Reiser. But it also shows the sensitive and vulnerable side of the artist. Because Rio Reiser suffered from love and its passing and plunged into ever new erotic adventures, whose failures we owe his most beautiful love songs.
