RIP: Jacques Lanzmann

Yesterday (Wednesday) Jacques Lanzmann passed away at 79. The journalist and writer (and brother of director Claude Lanzmann) wrote the lyrics to famous Jacques Dutronc-songs like Les Cactus, Il Est Cinq Heures Paris S'Eveille and J'aime Les Filles. To commemorate the passing of a monsieur who had a gift to write both funny and very literate songs, here's a few examples of his legacy.

    What a sad passing! J'aime Le Cactus!
    Actually ripped off that song and the beat for an advertising campaign I worked on in Asia during the late nineties.

    Is there a dole for old French chansonniers?

    Dutronc se la coule douce en Corse avec une trentaine de chats, non ?
