Michel Farinet
Michel Farinet (born 11 November 1937) is a French artist of electronic music. Born in Picardy (France), Farinet has become a popular underground artist who publishes his songs on the Internet.
President Nicolas Sarkozy[edit]
On 23 February 2008, French president Nicolas Sarkozy visited the International Agricultural Show in Paris and insulted a visitor who denied shaking his hand, saying "Casse-toi pov' con !" (Then get lost, you poor jerk![1]). According to the French newspaper "Le Courrier Picard", Michel Farinet was that visitor.
Although Michel Farinet publicly claimed being wrongly accused,[2] Internet users pointed out a remarkable resemblance. Furthermore, the fact that having published a politically motivated book regarding Sarkozy prior to the incident[3] is supposed to make him suspicious as well.
Bide & Musique[edit]
Michel Farinet became famous on the French internet radio Bide & Musique. Therefore, he dedicated two songs to its members : Perce-Neige la fille sauvage and Doudoucoincoin le canard bleu.
