Michael Stipe: I was born in Georgia, but not in Athens. My father was in the Army, so we moved to Germany when I was 6, and we lived there for two years in the mid-’60s. There was this German woman with a cabbage garden who cleaned our apartment and babysat us when my mother and father were off working. I went to her house one afternoon, and she left me in the living room. She had an old-school radio on a tall shelf, and it was playing this song. I just stood there and stared up and wondered what on Earth I was listening to. The song was “I Want to Hold Your Hand” by the Beatles, but sung in German. They actually recorded that song in German, and it was a big hit there.
I’m not really a Beatles fan, though. I acknowledge their genius, but I’m just not the generation that grew up with them. It’s not something I’m personally drawn to, and that’s gotten me into a lot of trouble in the past.

Das war mit 5 Jahren. In Hanau. Was später noch dazu kam verrät er im Link.
