On January 18, 2021, Dirk von Lowtzow’s lyric self has an appointment with an osteopath in Berlin-Mitte. It’s about the chronic back pain, and this time the doctor is trying shock wave therapy. A slightly menacing device generates electromagnetic impulses that are directed through a tube extension into Lowtzow’s muscle flesh. It’s supposed to be helpful, but the singer, author and patient feels like he’s in a horror movie. “I am Frankenstein’s bride,” he notes later, “lightning flashes.” An allusion to an old, romantic film that according to the FSK is free for ages twelve and up.
