John, that is what I keep asking myself. The guy in the YouTube clips exists, apparently humanoid and able to hold a guitar to a (partial?) playback. He publishes his concert data at genuine venues (most of them in Germany) together with links to the website mentioned by Zimmerman. Technically, that site is artfully goofed, using a Mac tool "iWeb 1.0.0". If that is all fake, it took a lot of work. Just for fooling Mudcat? Hard to believe.

A more likely theory is that someone (Zimmerman? An agent of a competing JD impersonator?) hacked the website and replaced the English text with what we read. The German text remained unchanged - it is more in accordance with the YouTube vid in its lack of poetic elegance, though not of pretentiousness. It may be an attempt at a translation of the original English text.

Still, reality can be surprising. Background information is welcome.
