“I have a natural tendency to put my finger where it hurts…” admits, with an eye still as keen, the 88-year-old singer facing Rebecca Fitoussi this June 2, 2023 on the show One world, one look on Public Sénat.Author, composer, performer and above all poet, Pierre Perret, from the height of his 65-year career, seems to have accompanied us forever and for a long time to come… At 88, the eternal artist released last April a brand new album, My old carcasswhere he cannot prevent himself, as he explains to the journalist, from continuing to marvel but also to get angry about the current world, in the face of current events, such as inflation, pensions and the management of the French capital! In Paris ransacked, he points the finger directly at the mayor of the city, Anne Hidalgo who offers the city food to rats… And it is an old friend of the singer who stepped up to the plate, judging that the ambulance should not be fired too much … Laurent Ruquier indeed expressed himself without filter on what he thought of this last title in It’s up to you, with Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, on March 24th.

Words repeated by Rebecca Fitoussi: “He talked about a badly done music video, a badly written song, even a very vulgar one…” she says in front of a slightly stung artist who immediately draws: “I didn’t know that Laurent Ruquier could write songsI’m going to take lessons with him from now on”, he blurts out, ironically. And then, with philosophy, to declare: “I got over all that a long time ago, if it relieves him, if it does him good for Ruquier, so much the better”.

Words full of wisdom from the one who speaks without taboo of his disappearance in one of his songs, “I camebid you my provisional farewells”,all in tenderness and humor. And who continues a tour between France and Belgium, “surely the last one I do”, as he confided to our colleagues at France Info on April 17, aware that at his age “he can drop the ramp any second”, because he has “always thought about that, all the time! And it doesn’t mean that it makes you die”had joked this great gentleman of French song, our beautiful friend Pierrot.
