Poets .... and the idiots!

Brassens, Gainsbourg, Trenet ....
The other day, doing research on Georges Brassens for another of my editorial activities, which I will talk soon, I realized that this year it's 30 year s that we had left 20 years for Serge Gainsbourg and 10 years for Charles Trenet. At first sight, apart from being dead 10 years apart, those three did not have much in common.
But when looking around, we still found a few.

course, which for me, brings these three great artists, is poetry. In styles different, they were all three great poets. Georges Brassens was a popular poet in the sense that it has raised poetry to the rank of a popular art, with a note of subversion, like Serge Gainsbourg. The latter gave more in the style poet maudit image he had himself forged. As for Charles Trenet, I prefer to offer you a song I love and is worth every speech:



Soul poets Trenet was written in 1951 for the film Bouquet joy . His words adorn the walls of a house in Narbonne his hometown.

And yes, The Singing Fool is a child of the Languedoc region, my darling. It is a common point with him Brassens, was Sete Island singular.
Being somewhat chauvinistic, I could not ignore the regional affiliation. But this was absolutely not the case with Gainsbourg, Parisian, if any.

In fact, I found something else in common with those three, a detail of course, but that made me smile. This common point is summarized in one word: "idiot". They all three have sung the idiots.

Regarding Brassens, his song about the idiots, you all know. The Time does not matter in 1961 and appears on the album of the same name. Its chorus is an absolute truth:
" Time does not matter
When you're stupid, it is designed
That is twenty years, whether we grandfather
When one is stupid, it is designed "



Regarding Gainsbourg is a film by Georges Lautner, released in 1968, he wrote his Requiem . The Pasha is an excellent film with a screenplay and dialogues Audiard. Serge Gainsbourg sang Requiem playing his own role in a recording studio.
This song is considered by some as the first French rap:



As Trenet, his homage to the idiots is a little more discreet but very nice. He just concluded a very beautiful song, Cor, adapted to the famous Alfred de Vigny ( I love her body at night in the woods ). This is one of his last works date since 1991. It is at the very end of the song and as cons-kneaded that Trenet addresses cons:
" Like the sound of the horn
Like the body of his
Like the fate of the evening con in my heart ... "

I offer a live for his 80 years at the Opera Bastille in 1993:

Right now, I'm a little tired by the Bullshit that rages around me. And every day that passes, the words of Frederic Dard seem more pertinent: " There are many ways to be stupid, but always chooses the worst con ." As those of A. udiard: "The cons, it dares all and that's why we even recognize " ...

Quebec speaks to the French!

Just last year, I wrote an article on a documentary project that seemed very interesting. At the time, it was called " What they think of us . Today, the documentary is finished and is entitled " Quebec speaks French to .

I made the pitch.
recent years, a lot of French people choose to settle in Quebec. Some of them return some time later, disappointed with their experience. The French and Quebecers would not they also close cousins as we think? The documentary

proposes to answer this question through the experience of Oliver Zimmermann (photo cons), French musician and student, came to spend a year in Montreal as part of his studies. Following Olivier, " Quebec speaks French to " shows how the French are welcomed and received by Quebecers, what Quebec thinks of France, and finally what is really the Quebec of today.

Adventure Olivier is supplemented by testimony from Quebec and French personalities from academia, economic, political, artistic and street people.

tempting, do not you think?
Before you say more, I suggest the first of 7 parts of this documentary available on YouTube:



It makes you want to see more!
But for this it will have to wait a bit and especially in the promotion. Indeed, no television station has shown interest in distributing the film, what seems incomprehensible when you see all the crap shown on programs. In short, the premise that a film must be seen, otherwise it does not exist, the producer decided to put it on Youtube so that as many benefits. As

" Quebec speaks French to " has cost a few thousand dollars to produce, to try to recover some of the money spent, there must be a maximum of the Internet and viewed s' subscribing to the Youtube Channel Lumen Box, the film's production house. The second part will be online when we get 15,000 to have seen the first. I urge you to do a max of buzz around this video.

Sterzi I exchanged with Lorenzo (photo cons), founder of Lumen Box Films and especially co-director and producer of the documentary. He believes his film may be useful for the French who wish to settle in Quebec, a good source of information to prepare the trip. For him " Quebec is not just for moose, shirts" carotées "and poutine. Besides we are not a bubble of France in America, but simply a French-speaking America. "

Lorenzo m 'spoke of Oliver, the "heroes" his film
" We had the luck of Olivier Zimmermann. We opened our arms, was always willing to do whatever was asked of him even though we frankly encroached on his schedule as a student. Olivier also a singer-songwriter deserves to be known. We wrote a song, entitled Montreal, which is the theme song for the movie. It is the end credits of the documentary. We must therefore wait a bit before you can listen . "

Regarding the personalities involved, including policies, the filmmakers have tried to have diverse views. They requested an interview with the two heads of provincial party Pauline Marois, who has accepted, and Jean Charest, Premier of Quebec, which refused, like most Liberal cabinet ministers (apart Pierre Arcand). My Quebec friends enjoy ...

And among stakeholders, there is a French actor voluble enough, the whimsical Fabrice Luchini. I offer you an interview in which he speaks of Quebec and his meeting with Lorenzo



It is normal for a website like mine, which prides itself on being the blog friendship Franco-Quebec makes the promotion of a film like this. The authors are invested to produce this documentary whose subject touches me, of course, and especially seems very interesting and well treated.
So please, pass the info, we can see more ....

Thanks friends!

Santana ... Finally!

If you read me regularly you know I'm a fan of Carlos Santana . Late last year, I even wrote a series of 9 articles on the songs included in her latest album Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time .

But just imagine that I've never seen him in concert and I dream to see him in concert. Well, this dream will probably be heightened. Indeed, my idol must occur in the arenas of Nimes on July 18 ... and I belong.

I see myself already:



least I was not the spleen. In fact, I planned my trip back to Quebec the next day, July 19 and I've learned the date of the concert last week (thank you Karine). Fortunately, I had taken my tickets so I advanced my departure for a day to see Carlos. I take this opportunity to inform my friends that I will come to Quebec squatter June 24 to July 17, I booked the tickets last night. YES!

Going back to Santana, last year, I had the balls because he went to Quebec on the Plains of Abraham, July 12 ... 3 days after my departure from the Belle Province. So this year, not about to miss it!

But it will be sporty. In fact, I'll leave Three Rivers Sunday, July 17 (the day after the festival volunteers VoiceFest) at noon by bus to reach Montreal. From there I take off to 20h to arrive in Paris around 8:30 the next morning (but it will be past 6:30 since launch).

As I never sleep in the west-east direction, I'll have a sleepless night in the face when arriving at Orly. From there, I will take the Orlyval, RER, to reach the Gare de Lyon. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick up a train to arrive around 11am in Montpellier at 14:30. Maybe would I rather fly to make Paris-Montpellier, but the arrival time will be the same.

I hope a kind soul will pick me up at the station or airport to take me home. I get my apartment after more than three weeks away and there I take a good refreshing shower, three cafes and a tube of vitamin C. And around 17h, I'll be driving my nice car to go to Nimes a good place to settle in the arena. A good journey, right?

This year I have been reasonable. I did not commit the mistake of taking a place in the pit, like last year for Jamiroquai. This time I'm sitting! I know what state I'm going home and I can not take the risk to remain standing four hours after 3 weeks in Quebec (including 10 days VoiceFest), 24-hour journey and a sleepless night. The year Last, my osteo. took more than an hour to untie myself back muscles (thank you Fred).

I am sure the concert will be awesome, he enrolled in the European part of the international tour Guitar Heaven Tour 2011. Carlos is announced with guests, we'll see that, but I think it'll be huge. Around 1am, I get home, exhausted and happy!
Info February 22: These are Keziah Jones , concert sound, and Asa that will ensure the first part of Carlos .... excellent!

To end this post, I can not resist the desire to offer you the same song as the first video, Soul Sacrifice but interpreted a little more than 40 years before Woodstock.
Carlos was only 22 years and remains, 42 years after the famous festival, one of the best live performances in history, thanks to the famous solo young drummer, Michael Shrieve.
Enjoy!
