The Beat Goes On

NEW YORK—German singer Nina Hagen may just be the strangest human being CREEM has yet accosted in its long and strange history. Certainly she gives the phrase “space cadet” a whole new turn: Hagen really does believe that some of her ancestry is extra-terrestrial, and that she will be scooped up by a shipful of them when she’s in her 40s.

The Beat Goes On

FROGGIN' MIT HAGEN

NEW YORK—German singer Nina Hagen may just be the strangest human being CREEM has yet accosted in its long and strange history. Certainly she gives the phrase “space cadet” a whole new turn: Hagen really does believe that some of her ancestry is extra-terrestrial, and that she will be scooped up by a shipful of them when she’s in her 40s. The ship will take away all the people on a certain “frequency.” Those not on the frequency will not even be able to get close to the ship without being injured. Then when the cleansing of the evil on the planet earth is over, the ship will return its earthly residents to start “the new race.”

Take that, Ozzy Osbourne.
