psychological balance).
So I have tried to work on
musical project with up
and down. I did my best
and achieved few works
but I didn’t like this period.
I was lost.
Music clubs, live stages, art
workers, we are all being
ignored in this pandemic
and the truth is that we
can’t do many things about
it, or can we? What mea-
sures and actions would
you take if you were the
Minister of Culture?
If I was a bit terrified at
the very start of the pan-
demic, I then felt angry
about French political deci-
sions. So much incompe-
tence without mention-
ing the scandalous use of
the fear and terror and
repressive rules to make
us blind. This anger has
never left me. It inspired
me a song titled “Culture
19” which will be part of
a compilation on a label
from Milano which will be
released soon. The lyrics
are: “Wear the mask, shut
up, no mouth, do not
breath, do not talk, do
not think anymore” And I
say “I wanna be part of
the underground Culture”
in reference to the Stooges
saying “I wanna be your
dog” but in that case we
are the dog full of rage.
I actually protest against
the cultural censorship. I
want to be a resistant and
if I were the Minister of
Culture I can tell you that
I would have never closed
the museum, theatr e,
cinema because I would
have a 100% trust in their
curators and directors.
Seriously, who really want
to have its venue closed?
Who? Excepting a political
decision? The loss of money
impacts so much the busi-
ness, that all the cura-
tors, directors have a very
secure, responsible atti-
tude. What the fuck is hap-
pening in the world today?
The virus exists - ok , it is
contagious - ok , hospitals
are full – ok (because of
past restrictives political

ger than the covid area. So
come on!! Wake up !! Let’s
go crazy, let’ s get nuts!!!
It is time “to stand up for
our rights”!
Madmoizel, thank you very
much for taking the time to
talk to WL//WH, last words
on you!
Thank you very much
Mike for interviewing me.
After 4 decades of musical
research, and more than a
decade of stage, releases,
collaboration…I know now
my career is for love for
music indeed but also for
love for people. Today I
miss so much to meet and
hug friends, audience,
bookers, technicians… I
really hope we will kick
the ass of our politicians
to make it possible again.
Art is resistance <3!!!
Keep up with
MADMOIZEL
