Book Review: The book by Till Lindemann's father helps understand a few things about the lead singer of Rammstein
Summary: 5 Stars
Werner Lindemann, a well-known East German writer of children's books wrote this memoir about the time he spent with his son, Till Lindemann, the future lead singer of the world's most famous German rock band Rammstein, in the late 1980's. The events described in it had taken place a few years earlier, when Till (here called Timm) was 19 years old. This book is a unique opportunity to get a look at Till Lindemann's life as a teenager, through the eyes of his father, an abusive, violent alcoholic, who'd been divorced from his mother for seven years by the time his son came to stay with him for a while. The dynamics of the relationship between the father and his son provides quite a bit of insight at what had shaped Till Lindemann's personality, influenced the lyrics of the songs that he has written for Rammstein, and his life in general.
Werner Lindemann died in 1993, the year before Rammstein was formed, so he never got to find out that the "trouble teen" he describes in his book was going to become one of the most distinguished and admired rock stars of our time. Till Lindemann reportedly has never visited the grave of his father after the funeral. Reading this book might help you understand why. It might also help you understand Till Lindemann.
Originally published in 1988, "Mike Oldfield in the Rocking Chair, Notes of a Father" was reprinted in 2006. Despite its very misleading title, it has nothing whatsoever to do with Mike Oldfield. It is a book about Till Lindemann at age 19 and his relationship with his father, as seen through his father's eyes.
