Book Musik 041 - RELAX BABY BE COOL: THE ARTISTRY AND AUDACITY OF SERGE GAINSBOURG with Jeremy Allen

Tosh and Kimley are joined by author Jeremy Allen to discuss his
new book RELAX BABY BE COOL: THE ARTISTRY AND AUDACITY OF SERGE
GAINSBOURG. When Gainsbourg died in 1991, the French mourned the
loss of an icon on par with the deaths of Elvis Presley or John
Lennon. But outside of France few noticed or knew much about him
beyond perhaps his infamous duet with Jane Birkin, “Je t’aime… moi
non plus.” Eventually the cult of Gainsbourg began to grow outside
of France and he’s become a huge influence on musicians far and
wide. This book explores the mythos of Gainsbourg and doesn’t shy
away from his often provocative and controversial life.
