His poetry is immense, but actually classic in manufacture. Should you want to have a look, or hear what 'argot' is about, then listen to such singers as Renaud <http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=fr-fr&q=renaud&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 > I guess you can find them on Utube Even mre recent authors/singers have resorted to street talk, but I haven't been able to appreciate them much, so far. (Perhaps with the exception of 'Grand Corps Malade' , sic) Anyhow, Lluis's photographs illustrate perfectly the spirit/mind of the work of Brassens; I am all the more endeared to him for doing so. Thank you Lluis mon pote gratuit de Barcelone, et bravo LES artistes.
