From the biography by David Jeffries for Allmusic:
Combining elements of jazz, rock, folk, and classical music, singer/songwriter Konstantin Wecker has long been at the forefront of Germany's Liedermacher movement, a musically sophisticated movement with lyrics dealing mostly with social issues. Born in Munich in 1947, Wecker was the single child of his father, an opera singer. Piano lessons began at age six, interests in the humanities and philosophy soon later. He graduated college in 1970 and released his first album, "Die sadopoetischen Gesänge des Konstantin Amadeus Wecker", in 1972. Critics praised his sophisticated lyrics, and album by album the number of his followers increased. In 1977 he had his breakthrough with the album "Genug ist nicht genug" (enough is not enough) and its popular title track. Enough is not enough also was Wecker's own personal philosophy and as time went by he became better known for his excesses than his music to the German public. He maintained a loyal following but made news with his personal battle against his cocaine addiction. In 1993 he wrote the novel "Uferlos", featuring semi-autobiographical stories of illegal drug abuse. Two years later he was arrested for possession of drugs and a series of trials and subsequent arrests began, all culminating in 2000 with a 20-months jail sentence. Released from prison in late 2001, Wecker has kept out of trouble with drugs but remains provocative by being an outspoken critic of the German government, religions, and social injustice across the world. He also began writing musicals that were heavily influenced by the cabaret songs of the Weimar Republic and his hero, Bertolt Brecht. In 2007 the Bear Family label celebrated Wecker with two ambitious box sets: The 7-CD/1-DVD Set "Zwischenräume – die Studioaufnahmen" featured his studio work from 1972–1987, while "Alle Lust will Ewigkeit" was a 10-CD set featuring live recordings from 1975–1987.
