In regards to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, it does not hold much meaning for me personally since I was not alive during the time. I do understand how the people during that time feel the significance of the unity and peace that it symbolizes.
Musicians Who Poked at the Iron Curtain: The unity of the different bands in Germany for the anniversary really symbolizes the unity of Germany when the wall fell. It’s terrible when even the music scene is oppressed and kept from expanding. A lot of people in the younger generation enjoy a variety of music and feel it is an escape from stress. Therefore, having limited music options would be unspeakable to the younger generation. When the wall and communist control fell, the music scene rose up and expanded drastically.
Remembering the night the Berlin Wall fell: I did not notice how different the tow sides of Germany were while the wall was up. It must have been strange for the correspondents to go from a wall with many symbols of the culture while the east had plain, clean walls. It must have been very overwhelming when everyone wanted to be in west Germany. It was hard for the easterners as well later, when the westerners basically took over the eastern areas.
