Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Three ye-ye girls

From 1964, Sylvie Vartan, Petula Clark, and Francoise Hardy do a medley of hits. How ya like that 60s production style? Best: Francoise at 2:20 on the tape singing a bit of Je n'Attends Plus Personne. Pop gets no better than that:

I'm not really into pop, but noticed that Mireille Mathieu

looks a lot like Barbara Feldon (``99'')

Haha, I almost linked this in the first Francoise post. This is where I first saw her (and ye-ye). I actually found it through Katie Rice (an animator working with John K of Ren and Stimpy fame) on her blog (check out her amazing drawings of ye-ye girls). Great animation reference, Sylvie in particular has the most delightfully impish mouth shapes and expressions.

And yeah, Je n'attends Personne is awesome. Like I said. Stone cold fox.

This - the ye ye movement - explains Shania Twain. Just watched Sylvie Vartan do "Gloria".
