I suppose being 91 has something to do with the seriousness of it.
Wow! I didn’t know she was still alive! Haven’t heard that classic name in decades.
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh, it’s good, good, good
Like Brigitte Bardot
she is- or was- a chain smoker. I’m surprised she has made it to 91.
At the start of her political activism, she was protesting on behalf of the Rosenbergs, who were executed in 1953 after being convicted of stealing our atomic secrets and passing them to the Soviets. Much later in life, she was protesting mass immigration into Europe from the Third World. She followed a French tradition of starting life on the left and later moving to the right.
However, her outspoken nature and repeated comments on immigration and French politics have drawn criticism. Several of her remarks have led to fines for inciting racial hatred, which she has publicly defended as โfreedom of expression.โ

Oh that’s right, I had forgotten that she had said some “controversial” things about immigration. Good for her.
Dang. Pretenders. You got a million of them.
Perhaps the "Trust The Science" people have been lying to us?
You need a Jayne Mansfield thread so you can do Siouxsie and the Banshees.

He figured out how cholera was spread but the establishment destroyed him while thousands died. Interesting read. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

“Perhaps the “Trust The Science” people have been lying to us?”
Yeah they have...in recent years ever since they added the course to the medical curriculum.
Great song.
