Yes, I agree his last concert at the Berlin wall could have started a chain reaction that led to it's eventual fall.

OMG I'm laughing too much!

Has anyone seen the musical Jekyll & Hyde starring Hasselhof? It's available on video & DVD. Truly wretched acting and singing; the man is just sad. His bio on the Playbill of the Broadway show was like a whole page, and it just talked about how wonderful he is, and the many children he's recieved gifts from.

It's funny, you know?

I guess he is also hooked on the poor quality of Windows, very choppy sound and video.

I agree with virividox, but as long as he can command an audience he's not going anywhere.

it's sad but true - he's like an icon over there. In Japan too.

David Hasselhoff is making fun of the people who really and truly brought the Berlin wall down: the citizens of the former GDR who demonstrated, illegally, for months. Many of them got locked away by the communist police, some got tortured and killed. And, still, there was no riot, no breakout of uncontrollable violence, no bloody "revolution".

The day the wall fell we were on the brink of a mass slaughter. A lot of people were willing to rather die than being locked up within their own country. They just couldn't stand it no more. However, I didn't see Mr Hasselhoff when I was there, at the Berlin wall, November 9th, 1989.

I don't know where you get your info from, but an icon he is definately not for the majority of the people in Germany, it is the opposite. Most of his fans were Kids or young teenagers, but that is long ago already. And just because some idiots like his stuff doesn't make him an icon... Every country has "artists" that are worshipped by lobotomized consumers. I wonder that somebody from the US is pointing at others with the finger regarding that subject...
