MichelleObama, 58, US attorney, gives her husband Barack Obama a blunt marriage certificate. In the talk show “Revolt” the former first lady spoke openly about previous marital problems. “People think I’m being mean when I say that. But there were ten years when I couldn’t stand my husband.” The first few years with her daughters in particular were difficult. She started directing her “anger” at Barack. Because at that time he found time for golfing, traveling or for his work – while she tried around the clock to be a good mother and lawyer. “Bringing two lives together is one of the hardest things,” says Michelle Obama. Even if you are “madly in love with each other”. “But you know,” she sums up. “We’ve been married 30 years now. I’ll put up with 10 bad years for 30 – that’s just how you look at it. Other people give up after five years.”

Erry Stoklosa75, Bläck-Fööss-Singer, cultivates his mother tongue. “It’s a shame that as a dialect band you’re pigeonholed nationwide that Kölsch is just carnival music,” he told the German Press Agency. “We would probably have been more successful nationwide with standard German and would have had more television appearances,” said Stoklosa. “But we started 52 years ago with the promise to cultivate the Cologne language, and the band will continue to do so in the future.” Stoklosa and guitarist Günther “Bömmel” Lückerath want to retire from the band for reasons of age and leave the field to their younger bandmates. The Bläck Fööss, founded in 1970, are known for numerous songs in Cologne dialect, including carnival catchy tunes such as “Mer losse d’r Dom en Kölle”.
