Damo : My fortune is that I perform on the stage with young people. When I was young everywhere I went I was youngest. Now everywhere I go I am the oldest.
Damo : Now I am fortunate that my audience and the sound carriers are 20 years younger than me. I see only young faces and I feel like I am one of them.
Damo : The good thing with young people is that they don’t have a fixed way.
Damo : It is everybody’s mission to learn who they are and what they want. We must go our own way. Not belong to any kind of organisation. But it is not egotistic to find yourself. It is always better to travel alone. With 2 or 3 people it is very different. Alone you have more responsibility. I’ve done that a few times and I’m quite satisfied with the things I’ve done. I’ve never tried to be anybody or somebody else. I always just tried to be myself.
