I lived in Munich from 1979-82 and went to an American university that isn’t there anymore. I practically lived at Oktoberfest for the three weeks it goes on. I never heard John Denver. Germans wore traditional garb. Foreigners looked like foreigners. It was a lot of fun. I don’t think I could ever go back. I have a feeling Germans don’t go anymore. I’ve also spent significant time in West Virginia. It’s achingly beautiful. It’s a shame it’s such a fucked out place
