Bit of a Blur (2010)
“Pretty soon those people started turning up everywhere. I never expected to meet them, let alone not be able to avoid them.
Graham was quite absorbed by a French diva called Françoise Hardy. He talked about her in interviews sometimes, especially in France. Françoise liked our records, too, and wanted to record a version of the ballad ‘To the End’, in French. We jumbled, hungover, on to the Eurostar to have lunch with her. The French don’t have a royal family. Instead of having one monarch for ...everybody, everybody seems to have a slightly noble quality in France. If they could have voted for a king, they probably would have had Serge Gainsbourg. He was a cross between a poet, a singer and a tramp. He made some good records and seduced all the most beautiful women in France. That’s what French kings should be getting up to. He was dead, from Gitanes and pastis, and she was married to a film director, but she was a fair queen to his king.
Paris was yet another parallel universe of nice surprises and new smells.MoreLess
