Aaah, Brel.


Nice to remember him here, Andres. Belgium's greatest chansonnier. Ne me quitte pas is legendary.

I would want add what I wrote about Hugo claus here last year. Both men must be contemporaries.
Where are their successors?
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.
