Pretend that the nationality of the subject today’s Audio Blog wasn’t immediately obvious by the name of our site. FrenchPod101. Just consider, if you will, Serge Gainsborg, independent of any nationality. The son of a cabaret pianist. Painter. Composer. Comedian. Clown. Writer. Provocateur. Musician. Could his nationality be anything but French?

Serge Gainsbourg is the quintessential French artist; avant garde, revolutionary, romantic. He should be; he shaped and seduced the French speaking world through his art. After listening to the audio, don’t forget to stop by FrenchPod101.com, where the English translation, and other learning tools are available. And don’t forget to leave us a comment!
