from 1965 on, hüsch released phonograph records with literary cabaret pieces, chansons and poems - he sold more than 50 albums until his death. in 1967 he joined the left-wing german student movement and performed in berlin on burg waldeck. but some elements of the student movement did not like hüsch's non-violent attitude. they heckled his performances from june 1968 until august 1969 and "it was just as if your comrades told you that you are not good enough for the fight and that you have to give it up", said hüsch. he was disappointed and hurt by their actions against his art, decided not to perform in germany for years, and moved to switzerland.
