    Les années soixante ont été une époque de transformation, une période où les rêveurs sont devenus des activistes, où l'art et la musique ont fusionné pour créer une symphonie de rébellion.
    La musique, ah, la musique ! Les sons psychédéliques de la guitare, les paroles engagées de chansons révolutionnaires, tout cela nous transportait dans un autre monde, un monde où la musique était le langage de l'âme. Des artistes tels que Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Brel, et Édith Piaf ont capturé les émotions les plus profondes de cette époque tumultueuse.

    It’s quite frightening at just how heavy a smoker he was. A total chain smoker literally stubbing one out and lighting the next. I was read he averaged 120 unfiltered Gitanes cigarettes every day! A miracle he didn’t succumb to lung cancer or have his heart attack sooner than he did.
    Jane Birkin was a real English rose. She had the most beautiful voice and accent when she spoke her native English as well as when she spoke French with her charming heavy accent.

She had CHARM and possessed a NIGHTMARE BEAUTY!!! She was also a successful woman in the arts for a good decade.
