He commented his song “Man is the Measure of all Things/Weil der Mensch zahlt”:“I didn't come to Europe to bring the peace. Europe is now spiritual and physical Hirosima. I am the holy clown who will speak the truth. With the help of my song I will try to pour milk in the thirsty mouthes of Europe”.
Alf Poier said:“People should not vote for my song, but for the spiritual message embodied in it.”
