And he pretty copied the acoustic guitar riff from "Andy Warhol" for the second track

But he didn't deny it anyway..

Hi fellows!

ALAIN KAN recorded with JEAN-PIERRE CARON, JEAN LOUP DURET, SERGE DERIEN, DOMINIQUE FRIDELOUX and JEAN CHEVALIER.
"Heureusement en France on ne se drogue pa" is his second album. The 1st one was "Et Gary Cooper s'éloigna dans le desert" and the third is "Parfums de nuit".

Thanks for sharing it!

1996, published an ambitious album, but not worth being considered, Bevilaqua, where he worked as a duet with his idol Alain Vega of Suicide American group. True disk environment, Bevilaqua, surprised by its modernity: Christophe is himself and no one looks more like a dandy and crooner of the 1970 his inspiration was produced by viagra without prescription
