Sixty-eight today: me and Tom Waits. Birthdays haven't been the same since Edmundo Ros (7 December 1910 - 21 October 2011) went to join the celestial rumba band. And of course the NigeCorp silver band has long been mothballed.
I guess I'm now a soixante-huitard, but in an entirely English sense...

Happy Birthday! Is soixante-huitard like libtard, a term much used on social media?
ReplyDeleteVery like - one who has, as they say, 'drunk the Kool Aid'. I might have drunk it myself long ago, but was promptly 'red-pilled' and have been robustly reactionary ever since.
ReplyDeleteOnce ran a French exchange to Rouen where one of my French counterparts was, indeed a soixante-huitard and knew Daniel Cohn-Bendit.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday, Nige. May you enjoy many more.
