Funny story - one of my best friends was stationed in Germany back in the 80s. One night at a local bar, he and a group of buddies somehow convinced the locals that they were the Greg Kihn Band and performed a couple of songs, despite having no instruments or any talent whatsoever. Obviously copious amounts of beer were involved. As he tells it, a good time was had by all. So today, there are probably a bunch of Germans in their late 50s/early 60s telling people that they once saw him play live, but he wasn't very good.
Anyway, RIP.
