Thank you very much...

Went to college in 1973.

A friend had a 33 rpm that we would listen to, and sing along after a day's work :D

Had a kind of nostalgy. Found it again :


Wow! That was over 40 years ago and we all became entrepreneurs, craftsmen, teachers, mothers and fathers, hey, I'll grow some next spring, I'll be 63 and happy to live in a free world.

A liberal world, yipee ya yho :D:D:D

Six minutes.....eighteen seconds......Seven minutes? I'm cutting my ears off and flushing the ganja down the toilet!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I'm figuring David walked right by the weed straight to the hard stuff!!!!!o_O
Don't think he needed the microphone, hell, I've heard roadkill carry a tune better!!!;):D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Heard today that "someone" wanted to throw shit on the fan (for what purpose, frankly, I can't guess).

Made me think of this song that was popular before Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by religious terrorists.

It says, roughly, "Good Luck", "We wish you peace".

I wish you all Peace - and common sense...

I liked many of his songs, but this is getting a bit too much here: you can't listen to the radio, or watch TV without hours, and hours, and hours of eulogy.

There's going to be a kind of "National Funerals" here. Frankly, I doubt that whatever respect anyone can have this was necessary.

It's like making him a god or a saint (and you already know what I think about "gods", and "saints").

I'm a hundred more times moved by the death of a woman beaten to death by her husband, or a child dying in the mediterranean sea while his family tried to escape war.

I mean, I sympathize with his family and friends, I understand that his fans are sad, but really, this is too much. As if it was something to divert people's minds from other concerns.

Panum et circenses.

(hey, "americanelmer", google it, maybe you'll learn something)

I think that Lhasa de Sela was a much better artist, and she wrote most of her songs too. She died aged 38 and was far from a puppet in the entertainment industry. What's more, she could sing in French, Spanish and English without a prompter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lhasa_de_Sela

I did see this happening (in the media I mean) but didn't realize it was at such an extent :eek:
I am in agreement with you.
 
Tough crowd!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I thought that que je t' aime was pretty good. Fans seemed to enjoy the show. Not quite my tastes, and I'm still waiting for the white tiger to come out. But looks like he's giving you your moneys worth, what a stage!!!


What's wrong with reveling for a bit in the life of a person who probably gave more joy than pain. Although his numerous ex's might disagree.....:eek::eek::eek::eek::oops::oops::oops:;):D:D:D:D:D:D:D

And that lovely female singer might want to check if she got pregnant right there on stage!!! Hello!!!!!:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
 
I watched on Youtube one of his 2016 concert in Brussels.
His voice was coming out very clear and correct.
Amazing at his age and his condition, I think.

Right, that can give others hopes of a long life for he was a heavy drinker, and a heavy smoker too. A real role-model. A famous quote, when arriving at the finishing line of the "Dakar" rally: "If we hadn't lost 1 hour and a half, we would have arrived 1 hour and a half earlier". :rolleyes:

Tens of thousands of people waited in the cold to watch the hearse with tansparent sides so they could see the coffin.

Some of his fans are disappointed because he'll be buried in Saint-Barthelemy, where he had a house. Anyway,

Sweet dreams are made of this,
Who am I to disagree?... ;)

The day before, a great author passed away. "Johnny" stole the show.

Jean d'Ormesson wanted an intimate ceremony with only family and friends. He was a conservative, but highly respected on either sides of the political spectrum for his wit and humanity:

"D'Ormesson became Secretary-General of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies at UNESCO,[1] and the director of the conservative French newspaper Le Figaro from 1974 to 1979.[4][8] D'Ormesson self-identified as conservative.[10][11]

On 18 October 1973, d'Ormesson was elected a member of the Académie française, taking seat 12, following the death of Jules Romains, in 1973.[1] On the death of Claude Lévi-Strauss on 30 October 2009, he became the Dean of the Académie, its longest-serving member.[4]

D'Ormesson was a grand officer of the Legion of Honour, and an officer of the National Order of Merit.[1] In 2010, he was awarded the Ovid Prize, Romania, in recognition of his body of work.[12]

Probably less sexy than our late national pop-star, but he never tried to take another nationality for tax-evasion, Our president paid him tribute before his burial, and did the only gesture he had asked: he put a black pencil on his coffin (watch from 30"):


I don't know if Johnny's family will put a carton of "Gitanes", a bottle of whisky, and a bank account number in the Caiman islands on his coffin.

(Oh, that was mean!... But you know, "I'm Charlie!", rather than "Johnny" :p)

Makes me feel like listening to the New York Dolls.

Meanwhile, in the jungle...

Peace, and love, and a happy long life to all rock fans!

Did, didn't.

You surely are impressed with yourself.
I was listening to Symphony Sid broadcasting from Byrdland in NY before you were even a cinder in your fathers eye.

Google it you might learn something.
