Herman Brood - Saturday Night



As far as I am concerned, the Netherlands produced exactly one rockstar. Most of my teens, I listened to his music with a good friend, after which we played in his basement. A former band I played in once gigged with him (Herman lending a helpful hand - he might have shared some 'interest' with the lead guitarist, who knows). It was a nice but small life performance. When he died, I spend a day playing his CDs. Rest in peace, Herman.
