We should be prepared, as the French are a law unto themselves, and mostly don't like artists who are not French! Possible exceptions are the Beatles and Stones. They have their own artists who are hardly heard of over here. Hopefully, Adam will win them over, which will be wonderful. I did wonder why the venue was so small. I have Iived and worked in France, and love the place, and also the people, once you get to know them. So you can be our point-of-view translator for the day? The rest of us are just guessing. I can put in a little Canadian 2 cents but I am not francophone so it is still an outsider's 2 cents. The French guard their culture very closely and are far less susceptible to the homogeny and hegemony of US cultural influence. The French tend to favour Education over Wealth and Critical thought over Common Sense..which is all well and good [and I mostly agree], but they can be annoyingly condescending and unaccepting of difference....albeit a favourite mantra is "vive la difference" lol...the difference must be Francais  IMHO STI think they will be just as smitten by Adam and Queen as the rest of the world....I look forward to the reviews...and of all the places I have been, that I would like to return to...Paris is the very top of the pile. A truly magnificent city and peoples.... |

I guess I was just thinking that they'd want to hit the major cities closer to a weekend and hit the smaller markets during the week, since everything in Europe is relatively close together. Whatever. They certainly know better than I how to schedule a tour. Every city on this tour is a major city! Not a slaughterhouse among them!  Slaughterhouses create special, unique memories too. Of course, whoever thought West Texas in August was a good idea needs to have their head examined. |
