Today we have a public holiday here in 🇦🇹.
Ahead of us lies a 200km trip into the depths of the #Waldviertel. My kid already requested #IronMaiden as road music so I guess we're doing a #Powerslave#PieceOfMind double feature.
Then #Kirtag awaits! This is where 10yo me got #wrestling t-shirts (Bret Heart 💘), toy tractors and where I bought #BravoHits 10 (on CD of course).
Bruce Dickinson's album "Accident of birth" for me is an awesome piece of art!
Still after 27 years I keep coming back to it.
Best “Iron Maiden" album of the 90s (at least) 😉
