I'm always amazed this sort of thing can really crush people so badly that they die.
And tryin' to figure out what happened to 'Germaine Propaine'
"He couldn't have fell off that hard" Ain't no way
"What happened to the way you was rappin' when you was scandalous
That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]
[BOOSH! BOOSH!] (What was that?) Pet Shop Boys

They just said on the radio, the organizers Have announced, will never hold Love Parade again.

Now that would be a shame. I hope they reconsider and that one day
I will be well enough to go.

The Love Parade is godawful. When it was in Berlin every year, it was something we endured. It's become steadfastly more commercial with every passing year.

Yeah everything that starts out as 'underground' becomes incorporated at some point, commodified. Was this in a huge park or something?

It looks as if there was only one entrance/exit to the site. You can't funnel hundreds of thousands of people through a single narrow tunnel. It was a disaster waiting to happen.

It did look exactly the same as Hillsborough. Was this the same Love Parade that used to be in Berlin then? Why did they move it?
