Alain Bashung died last Saturday in Paris after years of fighting against a lung cancer. He was one of the greatest French musician/artists France had for decades. He was magnetically beautiful and his voice was the echo of an authentic life. He was discrete, and humble. He was a real star, and a true poet. And it’s a sad sad news now to see him going away. –dp
