1. The German Defense Minister (SPD Party member) had a talk late last week, and indicated that a crisis in limited manpower for the military is brewing, and he is looking over the option of some kind of 'conscription' plan (basically drafting young men/ladies).
Over the weekend, both the FDP and SPD parties had statements....they weren't going to support such an idea.
2. What is this new German movie "Girl You Know It's True" all about?
Well....in the 1990s....this music writer/producer...Frank Farian....had a series of music ideas for a dance album. The thing was....he wanted it to be two black guys in the front of this, but the music itself would be done by a couple of white guys. This was a German disco venture.
So he found two black guys (Americans).....who could sing, but just not at the level required.
The group....Milli Vanilli....was as fake as you could get.
The two guys? They eventually got tired of the faked-up nature, and wanted to actually sing, and the whole 'act' (gimmick) in a matter of a week or two....fell apart.
One of the two would commit suicide over this in the end.
So it's been near 30 years and the movie covers the history of the group and how they fell apart.
