| Despite a complete lack of support from radio and TV stations and other medias ContactEZ.net is Supporter of Iris Dement and Supporter of the Dixie Chicks. The French will always remember Josephine Baker (1906-1975) as la Star des Folies Bergère. Born in St. Louis, Mo., she went to Paris in 1925 as a Charleston performer. During World War II she became one of the national heroes with Charles de Gaulle for helping the Free French, and received with honor the Croix de Guerre. She helped children by adopting orphans of all nationalities, and furthermore, she was a fervent civil rights activist. Hopeful that the compassion and humanity some of us personify still exists in the hearts of sufficient numbers of Americans! | |
| WASTELAND OF THE FREE (Iris DeMent) (c) 1996 Songs of Iris ASCAP Living in the wasteland of the free... We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines and their speech is growing increasingly unkind They say they are Christ's disciples but they don't look like Jesus to me and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free We got politicians running races on corporate cash Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass You may call me old-fashioned but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job to some third-world country 'cross the sea and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free Living in the wasteland of the free where the poor have now become the enemy Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy Living in the wasteland of the free |
We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors and we call ourselves the advanced civilization that sounds like crap to me and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free
We got high-school kids running 'round in Calvin Klein
and Guess We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win Living in the wasteland of the free |

02-05-02 Hi ! I'm gonna write in English, even if, I suppose, you seem fluent in French (just in case!). I've just seen your site. I felt concerned as my father is an artist featured in one of your lists (Pascal Danel). I am myself a record producer (among many others, I co-produced the Mega France box set you mentionned somewhere!). I am also a guitarist, although I recorded several songs and records in French (check www.jeanpierredanel.com). I just wanted to say hi, and a big thank you for your work and your interest for French artists. Talk to you soon if you wish ! Cheers! Jean-Pierre Danel |

French Speaking Artists: This page is sponsored by a netwwork of French speaking expatriates to introduce visitors to French-speaking artists and musicians. It is possible that a page like this may only help the listed artists, and do very little for our cultural inheritance. The American melting pot has tendency to impose its English-based culture, and by doing so, to erase the homeland culture and inheritance of its immigrants. It does not have to be this way. Foreign artists are present with original ideas and creativity. We have to realize that we do not have to follow the pounding of the media and that with a little bit of an open mind we can all embrace a new world of creativity. In most of the US we can only listen and see English speaking artists, simply because it is easier to market and not because they are better. We can enjoy French, Italian, Spanish, and English songs. With today's technology, why should we enjoy only to a limited selection of artists? Most Europeans see and hear English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish artists daily, but most Americans have to do the extra step. So the purpose of this page is to provide a list of direct links for our visitors (expatriated, immigrants, tourists, students, American Francophiles, and so on...) who are interested in French-speaking singers, musicians, artists and movies.
