Le Sleaze MasterBy S. PAJOTPublished on May 23, 2009 at 3:02amBesides champagne and Roquefort, la république française is most notable for its production of perverted artistic geniuses. Back in the day, there was the Marquis de Sade. But more recently circa 1971 songwriter Serge Gainsbourg seized the role of chief French freak with the release of his concept album, Histoire de Melody Nelson. The basic narrative: Monsieur Gainsbourg (unintentionally?) hits a 14-year-old girl with his Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and then proceeds to fuck her back to health. Unsurprisingly, Gainsbourgs little chef-doeuvre has never seen store shelves in the States until now.
