About the book: 2020 / Werner Lindemann is a famous children's author. The book is his memoir of the time he spent with his son Till Lindemann, the future singer of the world's most famous German rock band Rammstein, in the late 1980s. The events described here took place several years earlier, when Till (named Timm in the book) was 19 years old. This book is a unique look into Till's life as a teenager through the eyes of his father, an abusive alcoholic who had been divorcing his mother for seven years by the time his son came to live with him for a period of time. The dynamics of the relationship between a father and his son give a clear understanding of how Till’s personality was formed, what influenced the lyrics of the songs he wrote for Rammstein, and his life in general. The main highlight is the large afterword by Till himself, where he tells his view on father and his childhood, separates the truth from the lies. Werner Lindemann died in 1993, a year before the formation of Rammstein, so he never knew that the “troubled teenager” he describes in his book would become one of rock's most prominent stars of our time. According to rumors, Till Lindemann never visited his father's grave. Reading this book will help you understand why. Originally published in 1988, Mike Oldfield in a Rocking Chair. Notes from Father Till Lindemann” is published in Russia for the first time.
