Avoid doing this in 2024!

· · Leave a Comment

On April 11th, 1983, Dave’s band went to record their debut album In New York. Dave, a highly gifted guitarist, singer, and songwriter had been with the band for two years as their lead guitarist. But Dave’s aggressive behaviour and alcohol problems had taken a toll, and the other band members had had enough. They packed up Dave’s gear and drove him to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, putting him on a Greyhound bus bound for Los Angeles. He was expelled from the band.

Devastated and fuming with anger, Dave was falling further and further away from his dream. It was during these dark hours that he swore revenge. He would put together a band which would become better and bigger than his previous band. His new band would organise more successful tours in sold out venues and sell more records than his previous band mates ever dreamed of. [Read more…] about Avoid doing this in 2024!

Am 11. April 1983 machte sich Dave mit seiner Band auf den Weg, um in New York ihr Debütalbum aufzunehmen. Dave, ein hochbegabter Gitarrist, Sänger und Songwriter, war seit zwei Jahren als Leadgitarrist in der Band. Doch starker Alkoholkonsum und daraus resultierende Streitigkeiten hatten längst überhandgenommen, und so beschlossen die anderen drei Mitglieder, ihn aus der Band zu werfen. Sie packten seine Ausrüstung zusammen, fuhren ihn zum Port Authority Bus Terminal und setzten ihn in einen Greyhound-Bus nach Los Angeles.

Am Boden zerstört und kochend vor Wut, entfernte sich Dave immer weiter von seinem Traum, Kopf einer erfolgreichen Heavy Metal Band zu werden. In diesen dunklen Stunden schwor er Rache. Er würde eine Band zusammenstellen, die besser und größer werden würde als seine vorherige. Sie würde erfolgreichere Tourneen in ausverkauften Hallen organisieren und mehr Platten verkaufen, als sich seine früheren Bandkollegen jemals erträumen könnten.

Go Your Own Way – but not alone!

· · 2 Comments

Twelve years ago, my life looked successful and positive from the outside. I had a good job as a senior supply chain director at Procter & Gamble, was paid a handsome salary, and lived in a high-end property overlooking the Singapore skyline. But something was missing. I felt unfulfilled somehow … lost and trapped. After a string of spectacularly failed relationships, with my health not the best, and ‘handcuffed’ to the golden cage of my well-paid job, I found myself in the middle of a classic midlife crisis.

What can we learn from the “Phantom of the Open”?

· · Leave a Comment

Maurice Flitcroft was a crane operator working at a shipyard in North-East England. He was 44 years old in October 1974 when he did something ordinary. He watched a golf tournament. Nobody knew that watching that tournament that afternoon in front of his brand-new color-tv would be a life-changing event. It was the day when Maurice decided to become a golfer… one who would write history.

„All you need is …!“

· · Leave a Comment

On November 16, 2019, I sent an email to family and friends inviting them to celebrate the “half-time of my life” at the end of May, 2020. I could have also called it the “31st anniversary of my 19th birthday,” or simply let them know I would be crossing half the half-century mark. Many had signed up, and in February 2020, the organisation of the event was done.

But sadly, we all know what happened after that. The world went into a stand-still for 2 years. It was impossible to even think about having a party and celebrating with friends. By the end of 2021, I started another attempt at organising the event, and with the world opening, it became more and more likely it could happen in June 2022.

As the big day drew closer, I was quite anxious about how it would go.
