QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

17 years old in '69

Fave Music in 2011

"On n'est pas sérieux quand on a 17 ans" - Léo Ferré - Rimbaud's poem "Romance", set to music by one of the greats of la francophonie.
June night! Seventeen! - You let yourself get drunk.
The sap is champagne and goes straight to your head...
You are wandering; you feel a kiss on your lips
Which quivers there like something small and alive...



"69 année erotique" - Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin - You don't need to have a great voice (or a great accent) to make great French music. You just need to hold out the promise of sexual healin' bébé.
