Lead singer of the very successful German band Die Toten Hosen, actor, author, and enough of a star in Germany that there are a lot of articles in German about his birthday -- but the Google translations were bad enough to make me wince, and the few I saw in English were either fragments of the new articles in German, or very old news. So I'm just going to link to a fairly good profile of Campino by a Canadian journalist 11 years ago -- https://rorymaclean.com/blog/on-campino/ -- and to a long thread about him and his band that has some more info: https://democraticunderground.com/10181664814
