Here is an amorous daydream in the Paris metro, described by the late group Superflu: a girl standing in front of a poster for a soap, and it is an imagination that is set in motion in everyday life.
Today, election day, there is no question for us of tackling a theme that could approach a social or political theme, and we must admit that the death of the visual artist and painter Jacques Villeglé, Tuesday, June 7, invites you to daydream about the weight of the imagination of what advertisers, shopkeepers, show producers and political parties stick on the walls.
Villeglé, for decades, slashed, tore, peeled off posters to make unique works of art that remind us of what we look at when we see a poster.

Remember: during the summer of 2019, La Playlist de Françoise Hardy was a crossing of the musical baggage of an author, composer and performer considered as the arbiter of the elegance of pop in France.
In July and August 2017, we spent A Summer in Souchon, during which Alain Souchon guided us on a tasty walk through a lifetime of love for song.
