RE: Stump the German
Not to be confused with the more successful philosopher and revolutionary comedian , Groucho Marx.
Not much written about him and Lincoln. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_conti...e=emb_logo So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Stump the German
The German was not at all stumped.
Congratulations Eva! Yes! You immediately recognized Mr. Karl Marx. You win a complimentary ride on the Prater-Riesenrad! (oh, you're not excited about enjoying the last rays of summer with the other half of Vienna?) and a signed copy of Robin Blackburn's 'Marx and Lincoln: An Unfinished Revolution'. Thank you for participating! |

RE: Stump the German
Good guess, Roger, it is a harbor city, but not Wilhelmshaven. The building in the second photo is actually quite prestigious.

RE: Stump the German
Excellent guesses from both of you, but Hamburg is correct.The building is the Elbphilharmonie, one of the largest concert halls in the world (and one of the most beautiful IMO):
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbphilharmonie Round the corner is the Reeperbahn, where the legendary Star Club was located: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U_PkTIxI34I |

RE: Stump the German
Oh neat! Did you happen to determine which Lincoln the Apotheke might be named after? A Brit by the name of Lincoln who settled long ago in Hamburg?
I didn't know the Beatles did punk! My mother always said they were innovative, but so ahead of their time? Gonna add that recording to my music mix! |

RE: Stump the German
I didn't know they did country and western. Note the cowboy boots in the youtube video @ :45 seconds

RE: Stump the German
Yes, they originally wore cowboy boots and leather before Brian Epstein put them into suits.
Amy - I do not know but would rather think the pharmacy was named after Abraham Lincoln. Yes, and the Beatles were certainly innovative, they did a lot of "firsts" (including the first music video - Strawberry Fields). So, did you k ow this one from the White Album? It's actually my alarm clock sound (the only that works for me) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eDP0INDIc-8 |

RE: Stump the German
That's a way to wake up! Yeah, a rocking kick. As opposed to a softly encouraging, "Get up, get out of bed, grab a comb across yr head."
I admittedly know Helter Skelter-covers better - U2 & Siouxsie & The Banshees Hey, etwas fällt mir ein! Bringing it back to finding things 'Lincoln', eine Frage: What great (subjective) US band had an album named 'Lincoln'? |
