The exciting biography of Frei.Wild frontman Philipp Burger
Philipp Burger is a man who polarizes. Head and singer of Frei.Wild, one of the most controversial German-language bands of our time. Rebellious, loud, provocative. But also a loving family man, passionate ArcheHof farmer, and open-minded Neuland explorer. Somehow indescribable.
tagging, instead of really discussing openly
He has never made a secret of his youth in the right-wing scene of South Tyrol - and now refers to it as the "worst time of my life". Nevertheless, for many it is clear: "He's still right-wing, isn't he?"
unfiltered and brutally honest
In this book, Philipp Burger tells his story ... unfiltered, brutally honest, and with a healthy dose of self-reflection. And raises questions that should interest us all: Why does a young man from a loving and educated family become a skinhead and shout right-wing slogans? And more importantly: How did he get out? What battles has he fought against his own inner demons and against the prejudices of a society that does not grant second chances?
But he also writes about what his life is like beyond political debates and headlines. How he fulfilled the dream of a farm, why "home" is the most inviting term for him, and why he stands against all extremes.
