Robert Charlebois was the bad boy of Quebec rock.
Charlebois was in-your-face and proud of it, his bravura captured by an idiosyncratic look that threw together a ghetto-style afro with a Habs hockey sweater, often worn under a lamé tux.
Charlebois, 57, explained in a recent interview how he was, at first glance, unnerved by the imposing physical presence of the man who would midwife his artistic rejuvenation.

Charlebois, who last year had said that the Glebe Mountain site was the most promising wind energy site in the state, said that Catamount needed "clear signals" from the regulatory community before putting much more money and time into the project.
Charlebois said that Catamount was busy building wind projects — out of state — in Texas.
Robert Ide, director of energy efficiency for the Department of Public Service said he interpreted Catamount's decision as a "wait and see" approach to regulation, with a sharp eye focused on the Public Service Board's upcoming hearings on another controversial wind project in the northeastern corner of the state.

 Joseba Tapia - Québec, hamalau kantu independentziarako - CD / cdRoots
These 14 political and poetic songs by six great Quebec chansonniers, Felix Leclerc, Gilles Vigneault, Robert Charlebois, Claude Leveillee, Raymond Levesque and Paul Piché are given new life in Euskera by trikitixa player and vocalist Tapia.
Tapia visited Quebec a number of times with Leturia in order to play in folk festivals, but this time his aim was to select six of the best Quebecois singer-songwriters known for their compositions, playing skills and lyrics.
The irony of the ballads sung by Leclerc and Lévesque, the lyricism of Vigneault, the harmony of Léveillée, the social criticism of Charlebois ' rock music, Piché’s merging of tradition and modernity and the voice of Joseba Tapia are all combined in the wonderfully simple project which gave rise to this highly acoustic album.
