Thank God, for a moment I thought you're serious.

But you're right, we've never been discussing German Schlager here (although a few Schlager covers were posted).

Do you know this one?

Schlager LP sleeves rule. Nude women on bicycles. Nude women playing accordions. Nude women drinking beer. Nude women.

Actually Patrick is going through a rough time.
After years of disguising his homosexuality, the boulevard press finally accepted it. And he & his partner adopted a child - it was all a queer Schlager heaven.
But the relationship just broke recently and now the 2 blokes seem to be fighting about the kid. What a feast for the yellow press!
That's why I remembered his name and put up his album, I see Patrick every day at the newsstand.
