But the French rock scene is such a moribund affair it'd take more than forty three days work to set up forty three dates. And old Johnny Halliday is actually Belgian but the French were confused enough to take him to their hearts early on and now I suppose they can't shake him off. The expression "sticks like shit to a blanket" comes to mind.<br />France has got other stars - the sadly departed Alain Bashung for example. I'll play something by him on the radio show in the near future. And speaking of which I'd better get back to work.Eric Gouldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459329733145880773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352260481595161722.post-32091001995260760992009-09-15T06:59:58.406-04:002009-09-15T06:59:58.406-04:00The French always try and protect their culture wi...The French always try and protect their culture with qoutas on foreign films and the like (I remember their initial opposition to Disneyworld) which is a Good Thing, but forty-three shows a year seems a bit punitive.

It entitles you to health insurance and you get financial assistance. The major French "artistes" do a tour every year. They're all on the scheme from Johnny Hallyday down to bands that play Status Quo covers in bars at the weekend. Forty three officially declared concerts and you qualify.<br />I know, we should be in bars doing the Quo catalogue but that's not why I got into all this.Eric Gouldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459329733145880773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352260481595161722.post-6752968859251938692009-09-14T17:29:58.916-04:002009-09-14T17:29:58.916-04:00hard to believe anyone all major french 'artis...hard to believe anyone all major french 'artistes' play every week in the mother country? - or is the assumption that if your big shot enough to play abroad, your big enough to not need the designation (which is what - a tax thing?)?shpodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01462623674414744250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352260481595161722.post-62218298333542641552009-09-14T16:26:22.604-04:002009-09-14T16:26:22.604-04:00Yes, yes that's all well and good, but where&#...Yes, yes that's all well and good, but where's me Radio Show this week?<br /><br />I'm surely not the only one who sends CD copies out to friends who are internet-less, by the way, so whatever figures you have access to "Vis-a-Vis" listener numbers I'm sure you can quadruple.<br /><br />The shows are great and are as much a staple of my Sundays as The Archers Omnibus...Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825522001603295850noreply@blogger.com
