From his childhood in the Westphalian town of Gronau to his first, life-defining stage performance in Hamburg in 1973; from his beginnings as a highly gifted jazz drummer and his adventurous stint at a U.S. military base in the Libyan desert, through early setbacks with his debut LP to his breakthrough with iconic songs like "Mädchen aus Ost-Berlin" ("Girl from East Berlin"), "Hoch im Norden" ("Far Up North"), and "Andrea Doria"—LINDENBERG! MACH DEIN DING! tells the story of a boy from provincial Westphalia who, by all odds, never stood a chance—yet seized it anyway to become Germany's most famous all-German rock star, an idol in both East and West.
