Please Help Me To Get Rid Of Hemorrhoids

Rock (1977-83) - chronicle of a missed opportunity - Laurent Jaoui (2010) - For justice to prevail

French Rock (1977-83) - a chronicle of missed appointments - Laurent Jaoui (2010)

France and rock ... broad subject that one ... how is it that this little country of ours, and culture buff who in his time, he should certainly go back to the lights to do this, beamed to the world, has offered such a poor reception to the music also so popular and rependue?


The Dogs
is this question that aims to answer this fascinating little book through the comparative history of three groups but not brilliant yet never succeed to go beyond the status of outsiders promising, until they throw for at least 2 of them, the sponge undermined by the lack of recognition and success, and agony that inevitably ensue in such cases. Bijou Starshooter and Dogs, they are through their sad fates that Laurent Jaoui, otherwise brilliant sports journalist, trying to understand what missed appointments between one of the most important music in the 20th century culture and hexagonal. In less than 6 years they have seen it all and tried everything, singing in French or English, attempting an adventure beyond the borders of our small country, evolving from a rock without concession to a world closer to the sacrosanct song French, c is the witness of all those involved directly or indirectly in the adventure that the author seeks to explain this mystery.

Starshooter
No luck? Amateurism? Dilettantism? Navel gazing hex? No, none of that during those 6 years each of 3 groups has their own way, made every effort to get closer to the sun closer to success. So is it with distrust of the culture imported by the big American brother, is the heavy shadow of an untouchable sacred song by French intellectuals, unavoidable in France, is this syndrome which may explain Poulidor missed this? A little of this, no doubt. Never respond categorically Jaoui gives tracks, opens doors, not without paying a heartfelt tribute to the sincere and passionate and exciting infantrymen of the great crusade on French soil music binary.

Bijou
So this was an exciting book, hosted by a collection that does not lack (from what you think, big disgusting, but most intelligent of books) to read cross as the biography of 3 groups unfortunately often underestimated, but also as a reflection brilliantly constructed and argued on the love story between a flawed and disappointing countries that do not, however, lack of public and artists and a music prompt to a call to rebellion and even revolution .... Where are your arms citizens? Where are trained your battalions? The standard (French rock) bloody (oh yes) Is it up yet? Given what we hear in the countryside (and not just presidential), it is reasonable to doubt.

Bashung the unwary - Bruno Lesprit and Olivier Nuc (2010) - Almost perfect

Bashung the unwary - Bruno Lesprit Nuc and Olivier (2010)

Considered by many specialists such as the one true rocker French, Alain Bashung us left there is now a little over a year, so it was high time for a serious and complete biography is devoted to her back on the work of an artist who, if he was mysterious and sometimes complex demeurât do not follow unless one of the heavyweights of what is pompously called the French song. This is the task that got down and Lesprit Bruno Olivier Nuc with this beautiful Bashung recklessness.


Now that the story of the artist has ended, it is easy to pull it backwards or in any case, the first end, puisqu, the book never follows chronologically accurate, but would rather tend to forage for a period ANOTHER: beginnings that eventually Bashung, which was still called that Baschung, at all costs try to erase from his biography yet unwritten in very incensed, although perhaps a little overstated petrol blue. Gaby's unstoppable and the doors that opened before him, so the American daring journey Josephine. his native village almost disowned, trains across the plain, everything is there, peppered his testimony Precious successive lyricists, his former companion and lifelong friends even though in his case the term may sound hackneyed as the artist who regularly clean up their knowledge, or rather a large storage vacuum,

not wait by no startling revelations or sulphurous this reading, the purpose, a scholar, remains modest and is in no way focused on the sensational, scabrous or sensationalist. The disease is mentioned, of course, but here is a matter of fact that's all. A patient and meticulous work conducted by two specialists undisputed.

If one were to reproach the book, it would be to look on the side this way, difficult to understand, unless you want to fulfill at all costs a number of data pages, to include all dates (and there are many) in words so must we stuff verbatim of nineteen hundred and seventy seven thousand other nine hundred and ninety eight has long pages, which, at least in my case, reading slows down considerably, and it too bad because the rest is so exciting that never ceases to devour the book. a trifle that this remark no doubt, but which, over time, can irritate.
