C'est pas ma faute

More from "French or foe"

"Blame in France is a hot potato no one wants to catch it, even if justified."

"Foreigners all agree about this: the French are paranoid about accepting it."

"In French, an erreur is a mistake you're not supposed to make, but that you do innocently, if clumsily. A faute is an error you make knowingly. It can be anything from a blunder to a misdemeanor or worse. After Napoleon had the young Duc d'Enghien assassinated Tallyrand said, 'C'est pire qu'un crime, c'est une faute.' (It's worse then a crime, it's une faute)"

So, the song Moi...Lolita had two major themes.
One was the continuation of the ye-ye tradition of young female singers in France. One of the originals, France Gall, labeled by Serge Gainsbourg as the French Lolita.

Second is the phrase "C'est pas ma faute", (it's not my fault). According to Polly Platt, a concept ingrained in French society.

French readers feel free to comment.

Alizee News

Alizee files and formats are flying in from Moscow. Early returns are low quality phone video but we will be happy with anything. Another 80's song was added, Nena's 99 luft balloons, yeah I have that in my library. JEAM (J'en ai Marre) has a new beat, I like it. Go easy on the quality and the sound.

The Alizee blog power

The blog posting on April 27, 2008, it was noted that the old official website, www.moi-alizee.com, was now an advertisement for a new movie release. Today I noticed that it was now a blank page.

The power of the Alizee blog!

OK, OK, maybe it was not the power of this blog that had it removed, but we did notice it.
