Just an Observation...

Oh my God, the French people listen to the WORST music ever. Honestly, I prefer the Indian Bollywood music over the French music. I would certainly rather listen to one of those cheesy CD compilations that they sell on late night TV than to the stuff they play at your typical French party. You know, the badly made commercials where they sell the CDs with name like POP NOW or WOW! MUSIC or something ridiculous. I would rather endure that treatment than listen to more of the recent onslaught of bad, bad, terrible bad, miserable, boring, love-song-sappy, crappy music that has been assaulting my ears and draining my energy at parties lately. Half of the stuff is American or English too so if you can think of a really bad American love song from the past 15 years, chances are that everyone at a French party will be able to sing it word for word. Stuff I don't even know. I would want to kick my own ass if I knew the words to some of this crap.

Can anyone out there give me the name of a French artist (singers only) that has had crossover success into the American market. I can't think of any and now I know why!

In other news, I have posted some small advertisements online and in the classifieds section of a local newspaper offering my services as a tutor for English. Hopefully, I will get some calls and can make a few Euros and get some money coming in. I need to start looking at other avenues for getting paid as Paris and the Euro conversion have not been so nice to my bank account. Gotta make some money!
