SCHADE SCHADE SCHADE

THIS YEAR (2009) I MADE A LAST-MINUTE IMPROMPTU "AKTION" at CSD BERLIN.

I walked silently through the Streets of Berlin Saturday 27June2009 wearing a long black-widow's shroud, one black glove (with red-ribbon) whilst holding a notoriously infamous mugshot of "MJ" the recently deceased "K.O.P." with a text saying "Schade"(pronounced ShAh-duh =German for "what a shame/pity").

Pandemonium occasionally broke out all around this impromptu "Aktion" with TV cameras, tourists and chorus' of "Schade schade schade!" with thunderous support or derision or disdain for the pop icon

UPDATE: the MJ Funeral (Watched at O2 Arena Berlin with the BF). Here is a significant footnote from the evenings memorial:

"His memorial service—a variety show with a coffin—had an estimated 31.1 million television viewers. The ceremony, which featured performances or tributes from Stevie Wonder, Brooke Shields and other celebrities, was carried live on 19 networks, including the major broadcast and cable news outlets. It was the final episode of the long-running Michael Jackson series. And it concluded with Jackson’s daughter, Paris, being prodded to stand in front of a microphone to speak about her father. Janet Jackson, before the girl could get a few words out, told Paris to “speak up.” As the child broke down, the adults around her adjusted the microphone so we could hear the sobs. The crowd clapped. It was a haunting echo of what destroyed her father."
