I'm a bit late but still, Brel, you'll be remembered for generations to come. Ne nous quite pas.

Flemish artists who can move at will between several cultures. And, I guess, the reverse: Walloons, or French, who are listened to and read in Flanders. Europe is such the poorer for it.

Oh well. We still have timeless art like Brel's.
We still have Axel Red and Arno who are appriciated and recognised in the french culture. But apparently I can't name one contempory French or Walloon artist with a lot of success in Flanders. I can't really say what that tells you about Flanders.
