	A Tribute to Philippe Michel - Musée de la Publicité - UCAD
		When Philippe Calleux and I started up our Agency on the 1st July 1966, we had no idea we were opening the floodgates to a wave of new agencies, creative agencies, all fueled by imagination.
		For Philippe, an advertisement is a "mental object" (these are his own words) which sets flames going in the brain a mental object which burns everything up around it, leaving free space for a new idea.
		I think Philippe did intelligent advertising, not necessarily more intelligent than all the others (even if he did have a touch of disdain for fools) but his sort of intelligence was with people, sharing intelligence with them.

		The death of Henri Rol-Tanguy, at the age of 94, marks the departure of one of the last remaining authentic giants of the French Resistance, a man who never wavered in his communist commitments and enjoyed the rare honour of being addressed by de Gaulle with the familiar "tu".
		He had the distinction of receiving, in the company of General Philippe Leclerc, the surrender of the German governor of Paris, Dietrich von Choltitz, in August 1944, after ordering an uprising in the capital that was not part of the Allied master plan.
		It was the high point in the life of a man who left school at 13 to become a metalworker and fought with the International Brigades in Spain.

	Splendid Magazine reviews 54 Sq. Ft. Trampoline: That Simple
		Joining LeClerc are two equally French-Canadian-named vocalists, Valerie Mongeau and Pascal LaPlante, who tastefully interject their respective contributions throughout the album.
		Its highlights are enjoyable to the extent that the lesser songs' failures are made all the more obvious, and therefore all the more infuriating.
		If LeClerc can move past the whiny, navel-gazing vocal tendencies that rear their ugly heads throughout That Simple, he could become a gifted musical craftsman -- but for now, even with the album's readily apparent flaws, That Simple's best tracks are strong enough to warrant a sound recommendation.

		Philippe Leclerc is quite a guy...who when I last saw him was sporting very long hair, leather pants and a trophy wife and hauling around Burgundy on a Harley (or, in the event of rain, in an Excalibur).
		Not quite what you'd expect in the rather staid Cote d'Or! All his cru wines get 100% new oak every year, and he shoots for yields so low that the wines will be dense enough to stand up to all the wood.
		The 1987 is probably already shot, but Philippe's '87s were extraordinary for a difficult year, so there's a chance.
