Ron Brandsteder’s sovereign self -relativity was a relief in Hilversum | TV

Ron Brandsteder was not the best singer, he was certainly not the best presenter and certainly not a showman from the book, and then he was my television hero. When I think of Ron Brandsteder, I think of an interview in NRC Handelsblad in 1990. It contained all the elements that made him an icon. In the conversation he put himself and his profession into perspective, a characteristic that you rarely find at the Mediapark.
