Peace in the Middle East? The Hoff's on it

COULD the dulcet tones of David Hasselhoff help bring peace to the Middle East?

The man affectionately known as The Hoff may be best known for saving lives on Baywatch and Knightrider but in 1989 he played a historic role in the reunification of Germany, belting out his hit song Looking for Freedom on top of the Berlin Wall for a crowd of one million people.

"I said, 'Can I sing on the wall?' and it was kind of a joke and they said yes and I went, 'Oh my god'," he remembers.

German authorities granted his request for a crane. "And I said, 'Can I be above the wall?'

"I rang ten friends and said this is history. It was the first time in 45 years an American sang there."

Hasselhoff’s historic gig has been credited with bringing East and West German’s together - his hit was sung by thousands of Germans on the day the Berlin Wall came down - and now the 58-year-old suggests the power of his music could unite other troubled regions in the world.

"I'm going to go around the world," he says. "I've decided to go to Jerusalem and help the Palestinians."

Ahh, I can remember when Hasselhoff played the infinitely silly Dr. Snapper Foster on a soap opera way way way back in time (LOL). He's been up and he's been down. But, hey, I'll root for him. Go bring peace to the Middle East. I'll be your biggest fan.

we have a piece of the wall in storage.
