How Soon Is Now ?


Back'in' PARIS for a while, a little while. PARIS , France & do not argue "Texas", nor any international (s)quizz about the french(s) capital city : a topic widely irrevelant like their strikes and women's natural beauty. [are some folks still looking for a BIG italian wedding ?]

YES & fortunately there are some foreigners (outiders ?...) invigorating some cool breeze in the "dumpy" local air. Raymond might ask : "what's new about it ?"
>The DEAD SCIENCE of the living well matching a blue rectangle with yellow stars on it & indefinitely numbered new bank notes ; it's not Mark but my name sounds german sometimes, and I've learnt to appreciate the value of his counterfeit pronunciations.
Still lot of good food & decent beverages on the shelves + the usual beggars sidewalking outside (all type accepted) ; Notice that the detuned accordion has been replaced by encore of jingle-jumblings for some spare change (dogfood eventually).
>The WORD : a few locals still like to have one, especially regarding what's wrong with you or better abroad. The new generation propel its preemptive MEA CULPA in-as-much the "baguette"'s corrupted recipes rules baked tasteless scent of identity.
PARIS, not in TEXAS, I swear (!!!) but in France and more than ever in the Union, the bright E.U......

PARIS is quite sunny this summer 2008 & you can mess with it. PARIS, but again : not in Texas. Plus PARIS stands as well for a famous character (maybe not only one) from some dark old tale (a blockbuster) of our cherished western culture.
Internet and Telecom, etc, are still a nasty affair here in the land of french chips and "camenbert" !!! Now that De Gaulle and Staline, Gandhi or even Benahzir Butto are gone, you can't pretend for any "Libération", or expect some (slo) "Révolution" or even "Révélation". Some trENDs sound like : "Be like THEM instead of them" but there are at least, some sizeable limits of those pretentious overlooks.
Remenbrance of Paris, Crescida, or even Hector... Not that I like to complain but you can't say that around here the play isn't so (un)fair and recently I found myself spending much of my free time going to the movies and ZABRISKIE POINT was one of them.

About two local famous characters... let's prompt some "differences", not "differents" :
MANU CHAO's flow in spanish comes with a Love-or-leave-it french accent, NICOLAS SARKOZY barely speak english but it's still more reasonnable than when he does in french.
MC is kind of not tall enought for basket ball but he enjoys soccer even with a "Maradona playing a stubborn Zidane". NS isn't so small and while he's attired with a dream team & a couple of girls, he's said to be (cap)ABLE to run run for the BALL.
If you assume that only one of them has fueled MONEY in the engine of his committed entertaining parade, the other one still plays with it. No international upscale (de)parts them.
MC likes the radio & reliable sneakers so he can step from stage to ERR wherever the blinds take him. NS has been breed and trained btw the telly and jet-set approved suit(e)s, now he's consequently ironing his italian favorite night dress (with the remote).
NS tends to believe in democracy, or at least what its people elude as a french principle. MC seems to be confident with the principle until NS doesn't put him to sing the national anthem in english.
NS considers fascism as an old italian concept for history class. Although MC is probably fine with not so young italian women when it's all about little red "hooks" and bongos parades along the Elysean fields with or without the pope.
NICOLAS SARKOZY pretends to love the USA but he won't apply for a green card or even rush into charity auctions for a new Louisiana purchase. MC prefer Latin America but he hasn't figured out yet why they speak french in DC and they don't (really) in Mexico City.
NS's super wife is not titled Katrina, & El Nino of MC is possibly an instrumental for smoked nannies & young mums.
NICOLAS SARKOZY talks to the mass which is after all very conventional, & MANU CHAO may as well sing at the mosque (but please not in Bagdad or Tel Aviv..!)
If the showman is out, the entertainer isn't definitely in.
