After reading "Drømmer om storhet" a couple of times I can tell you (and Laut) has misunderstodd a couple of things This book is not about Pål H Christiansen making a-ha a religion! It is about an artist trying to find his way through privat and artistic troubles. The cover with Paul as a saint, indicates that the main character is looking at Waaktaar with great respect - and is obviously meant as irony. Too bad you cannot read the whole book i german, but these days you can find parts of the book translated to german at

From phc.germany
"Påls Werk ist weniger bekannt als Erlend Loes. Im historischen Lauf muss man aber von ihm sagen, dass er Loes Inspirator ist. Und Påls Stil ist ausserdem viel lustiger. Er ist Dichter und führt ins Gegensätzliche der "neuen" Generation der Norwegischen Verfasser, die im Grossen und Ganzen gesehen episch, realistisch und voll von schmerzlichen jugenderzählungen ist. Pål ist ein fantastischer Schriftsteller, aber kein Fantasy-Autor. Er ist ein literarischer Verfasser, der eigene Universen erfindet. Doch diese liegen so nah bei unserem, dass Spannung entsteht."

headbanger Good idea! An every time Morten forgets a line - Anne Mette throws him a piece from behind the drum set. And chew chew chew .. he sings again...

What about a tasty "remember-the-lyrics"-bread?

Or rather "Se og Hør", coming twice a week now and calling themselves a "Newspaper.. "
About "Cover of Drømmer om Storhet" The picture of Paul as a Saint is actually a real painting by a certain Arve Rød. He is a specialist, painting russian style icons, I've heard. Wonder where the painting is now. May be Paul got hold of it an brought it with him to his New York apartment? Or is on the toilet wall at Christiansens place? roll Some better suggestions?

"Still alive and kicking down there in the EU? And I guess you have not read "Dreams of Greatness" in German yet? Read it once more last night after watching a-ha at Valhall on Norwegian TV. Nearly laughed my bollocks off!
Heard the rumours, yet? That Savoy probably is dead and buried? That Paul and Lauren are starting a brand new band?"This time I think the rumours are more than rumours...
