jane birkin : 'ex fan des sixties' - video

i know jean-lucien is very familiar with this this, so i'm posting it primarily for lucynell and anyone new to the planet. its a music video for a french pop song from the actress jane birkin, who can be seen in both 'death on the nile' and 'evil under the sun.' she's lovely, and skinny and french and all that, but i think she might want to stick to 'acting' as her main career. perhaps, after you hear this enchanting song, you'll think otherwise... but i doubt it. its like, she's singing about all these 60's-prominent rock stars, but she throws buddy holly in there. correct me if i'm wrong, but he didn't exactly 'burn up' the psychedelic scene with his sounds. and then we've got shots of james dean thrown in there. and speaking of 'thrown,' it sort of looks like she was thrown out there with 'le garbage' in her peasant blouse and bare feet. still, its a video that has to be seen to be truly appreciated. so roll it and dig it, jane's landmark strident vocal performance.
