Oui. Une dizaine de grandes sociétés transcontinentales tiennent ce marché mondial des matières premières alimentaires. Cette spéculation n'épargne d'ailleurs pas les petits paysans français et européens. Mais elle affame les plus pauvres du monde. Il faudrait donc d'urgence interdire la spéculation sur tous les produits de première nécessité.

He is known for his meticulously fabricated works, which often consist of surreal combinations of everyday images such as cartoon imagery, art-historical references, and children's toys. Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania, in 1955. His work has been exhibited internationally and his most recent solo exhibitions, all in 2008, include presentations at the Château de Versailles, France; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

As I came to Earth in 1981, I involuntarily came into contact with human race. Except for a few bright encounters, I found the rest, dark and ugly. “Human Encounter” is my diary of these encounters. This album is divided into two categories:

The “dark side” reflects the ugly experiences. I noticed that human beings have a tendency to call everything by a name and misunderstand it later. So I do not care what they may actually mean by a word like "evil"; but no doubt human beings themselves are the main source of terror, pain and destruction on Earth.

The “bright side” reflects the pleasures I encountered in this planet. I say no pleasure happens on Earth without a human medium; so the corresponding songs are dedicated to individual human beings. Of course at first sight, Earth seems physically alluring, but those are only temporary characteristics. The only immortal thing is what a man creates.

Now that I am departing this planet, I will only miss a few people like those I named in the “bright side”... Let the others putrefy in the abyss of time.

"Abrahadabra" is a reflection of my exaggerated personal feelings. It is the first endeavor to my idea of “pictorial rock” - i.e. composition of sounds that recite a sequence of mental pictures. Actually all of these instrumental tracks have a real-life story behind them. There are very vague allusions to these stories in the CD booklet. e.g. “Route” is the story of a death ceremony and recites the mourning over the dead in a way that is done in eastern culture. Or “Told to the Bird” is the story of my own confession to a bunch of flying birds in a ritualistic way... In one sentence, while composing this album, I felt very lovesick, idealist and outraged.

Îmi place privirea ta când se pierde în a mea, îmi plac buzele tale când se lipesc de-ale mele, îmi place vocea ta când îmi şopteşte numele, îmi place parfumul tău când îmi penetrează nările... îmi placi.

from now to eternity
the black sad wings of destiny will cover the earth

''Ξέχνα όλους τους λόγους για τους οποίους κάτι μπορεί να μην πετύχει..
Χρειάζεσαι μονάχα έναν καλό λόγο που να συνηγορεί στο ότι θα πετύχει΄΄

"Sovereign" is an instrumental recitation of Shahnameh (The Epic of Kings) i.e. an extensive Persian epic poem written by Ferdowsi as a collection of Persian mythologies. Here you will find western rock instrumentation with eastern flavor. Some songs, I think, are apt to be adapted for traditional Iranian dance; especially “Sovereign” and “Harem” tracks. Actually, I am looking forward to the choreographic performance adaptations for this work whenever possible. Imagine Iranian "Coffee-house paintings" and belly dance with distorted guitars performing cheerful rhythms... Unusual combination? No, to me that sounds all natural!

- Focus can add to realism. Making your subject sharp and focussed and the background blurry can add a lot of depth to a drawing.

Basically I have had gay friends and it doesn't bother me. I respect them as everyone has the freedom to make one's own choices and have his own attractions. I don't get any buzz from seeing guys and I wouldn't be into receiving or giving, it's just not my thing. I know I have never tried it, but this is not something that turns me on.

Bonjour! Comment vas-tu? J'attends toujours l'argent. Le dossier avance bien, je rencontre le D.G. demain. Fais-moi signe, il faut que je voyage.
