Of course, my question about your agreement and the Minnesota Love lyrics was 
not meant to be public. But once the child has fallen into the well, it might 
as soon start shouting at the master class from inside it.

It was a great pleasure for me to put together Max's collection of ideas, 
which struck me as a powerful and unifying manifesto.

The lyrics to his Minnesota Love Song '26 can only be found in the 
Matryoshka-like Bauhaus once the innermost container has been unfurled. In 
the German-language version, his lyrics are hidden behind the album link: 
“Mindful Intersubjectivity” under the music video, at the very bottom above
the signature of 'A Minnesotan'.

Not only out of laziness, I decided not to put our own layout version of 
Max's original English lyrics on the site, but to link directly to the 
<nettime> archives: So use the US flag as your guide to find your way back ;)

Thank to everyone who sent me lots of drugs to keep me going after my 
misguided email. Embarrassingly, I am simply addicted to your praise.
