Three Things Cannot Be Long Hidden: The Sun, The Moon, And The Truth.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Buddha

Ultimately he is right, but there are times, and we are living in these times, when many people are no longer interested in the truth because they prefer to hear the lie.

In the olde days, truth was held in high regard and it was considered a noble pursuit. Education was a key factor in this, with individuals who were less well-educated being more susceptible to propaganda and misinformation. The current situation, where people often form their opinions based on headlines alone, is a clear indication of the need for greater education.

It is perhaps inevitable that people will sometimes lie, but when the truth comes out, those who have lied often find themselves in a difficult position. They then have to face the consequences of their actions and the consequences that result from them.

However, in the present era, the same falsehood is incessantly reiterated until it is perceived as factual.

Françoise Hardy, one of the most famous French singers of the 1960s, die on 11 June 2024 at the age of 80.

But her music and influence live on. Numerous artists around the world are paying tribute to her and remembering her extraordinary career and personality.

Recognising her internationally

One foremost among those who honoured Françoise Hardy after her death was Graham Coxon, guitarist of the British band Blur. Graham described himself as lucky to have known her a little. In 1995, Blur invited Hardy to sing on the song "To The End". The collaboration remains unforgotten and shows the respect and admiration she received from international artists.

Similarly, Tim Burgess, lead singer of the band The Charlatans, said goodbye in the artist's native language. However, Hardy not only sang in French, but also in English, Italian and German. The artist's versatility and charisma helped her to build up a large fan base beyond the borders of France.

Multi-generational fascination

Even younger musicians, such as Greg Gonzalez from Cigarettes After Sex, were deeply impressed by Hardy. According to Gonzalez, he was deeply moved when listening to her album "La Question". This admiration was mutual, as Hardy himself emphasised in an interview with Le Figaro.

Impact on film and television

Hardy's inspiration was not limited to music - she also left her mark on cinema. The American actor Elijah Wood also honoured her, recalling her role in John Frankenheimer's 1966 film "Grand Prix" and her brief appearance in "Quoi de neuf, Pussycat?" alongside Romy Schneider and Peter O'Toole.

Françoise Hardy - Wikipedia

Aesthetically, Hardy was considered a style icon in the 1960s. "Of course, it helped that Hardy was tall and beautiful and also had a flair for style; fashion designers like Paco Rabanne were soon showering her with clothes". Hardy attended a reception at jeweller Clerc in May 1968 in a dress with rhodium sequins by Rabanne, which was considered the most expensive piece of clothing in the world. She wore a similar jumpsuit weighing around 35 kilograms by the fashion designer at a concert.

As a model, she stood in front of the camera for well-known visual artists such as David Bailey, Richard Avedon and William Klein.[8] The Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo later named her fashion label Comme des Garçons after Hardy's first hit.

Farewell Françoise Hardy 💔

(January 17, 1944 - June 11, 2024)

After that, there was confusion about the man with the orange hair lover's red hat cult with his name on it or something with a greater...! And there were Shark behavior, boats, electricity, bitten legs of young women and everything just fell into place for him but the world wasn't so confusing to understand.

Because his mind had gone so far over Jordan from all the false truth he was proclaiming that it was impossible for him to get a parable straight.

And it was documented as Vegas in the city of gambling and where old people like to spend their leisure time.

A story written that gives us a deep insight and reveals what has always been open.

If the information is written down in front of you, it is of no greater value than if you were to listen to it. It is difficult to recall the exact wording of the phrase, but it was something along the lines of "where was that red thread again?"

This is definitely one of his most demented speeches as he continues to lose touch with reality.

Any Trump supporters want to explain this? As if this guy was your looney uncle at the family get together. You know the one you all talk about.

They ain’t showing this on Fox News.

That's it.

It can be surmised that no other woman in the history of Hollywood has been photographed as often as she has. The circumstances from which she came, the times in which she lived, her aspirations for higher positions in the film business, her life and even the circumstances of her death could serve as a template for a Hollywood screenplay.

There are so many photos of her, sometimes darling for the photographers, sometimes and only rarely the person she really wanted to be, even if it was only imagined.

The importance and significance of a star at that time cannot be compared with today. Different times, different circumstances, different dependencies, different environment in Hollywood.... The old Hollywood is often glorified and elevated to mythical status, but in the end it's a tough competitive business for film moguls.

I greatly admire some of her films and feel that she was a beautiful woman who was more than just the object of projection of the male world.

Even Warhol only captured her on the surface.

It seems that the demand to be taken seriously as an actress in her time was no less pronounced with her than with other actresses from her time who didn't have the absolute sex symbol.

She was an actress who knew how to convince with her naivety. However, the role she often had to play did not really allow her to feel at home in Hollywood. Her time in New York suggests that she felt more at home there.

Well, when competition gets completely out of hand.

Both had the music world at their feet but the game they played east side west side was ultimately fatal for both.

The world of street gangs and the music industry of absolute competition was a deadly mix.

2PAC would definitely have been a good actor due to his sensitive nature hidden behind a mask of the badass.

For many kids of that generation, the music was just a provocation, but everything that was rapped was ultimately meant seriously.

Fucking someone's girlfriend and then rapping about it officially is like putting your tack in the gang territory of the opposing gang. Unforgivable..... deadly by the way

A world of money, prestige, gang attitudes was and is a mixture of verbal and physical abuse that should not be underestimated.

Diss was a style in the b boy scene and in the rapper scene back then and still is.

The deadly contempt on display is and always has been a mask of gang culture, and that's what ultimately kills them.

I was once in LA right next door to Watts and the mate we visited had barred all the windows and doors. When I was walking around there they left me alone because I just looked too fucked up. At night you could hear gunshots and if you were barbecuing in the garden after dark you were often in the cone of light of a police helicopter. It was weird but quite normal back then.

Watts is one of the neighbourhoods with the highest crime rate in the City of Los Angeles. It is generally advised not to visit the neighbourhood after dark.

An old leather jacket and the fact that I was a fucking white loaf of bread made me invisible as a threat. I was just one of the few drug users in their eyes, which wasn't true but helped a lot. I could take really cool photos with my small picture camera. There were no mobile phones with great features yet.
