Oh it just means Oktoberfest is awesome. I lived in Germany for many years and know some Dutch as well. I had no idea Dutch translation was different. Thanks
The word geil (horny) in German (and Swiss) is used the same way as ‘cool’ in English. I presume it means the same in dutch, but might not be as polite there

Thanks. It looks like if I make it back to Europe and travel to England, there are plenty of stops to make. Lots of musicians there:) My fav in UK is still Brian May. He will be here for the Foo Fighters show and I can’t get tickets-smh
Yes, I just looked it up … those are two very different meanings, 
…in Holland it only has one meaning (in the past at least as a spoken language when we imitated German)…of course I only learned the dirty ones in the past when learning German 
.But it’s not completely neat. luckily i still remember that correct 
… weird guys those Germans … uh Romans…I love most of Germany anyway

That is a long commute to the winter home. Hopefully you fly. Palm Springs is not too far from me-fun place.

At home we are right on the coast, actually the ocean is our back yard. Out west we are 2 hrs from the coast but PSP does have the west coast vibe.

Now that we’re retired we drive. Driven Route 66 a couple of times and for all 5,500 km, the song keeps cycling through my head.
I really like the Brian Setzer version (and he’s a great guitar player)

Cool, you found our little town.

I guess, “geil” can have a lot of different meanings in German
And by the way: not all Germans (or all Bavarians, for that matter) are Oktoberfest fans

I’m surprised one word sparked such a conversation. Lol I don’t get too many chances to speak German anymore living in Southern California. Tourists manchmal. So sagt mann, es ist wie es ist’
