The earth began without Frogsmoke, and it will end without Frogsmoke :)
Nice obit in the Guardian… & hardly any mention in French media!
End without Frogsmoke? No way!
No offense! Just a joke on one of my favorite quotes by Claude Levi-Strauss: “Le monde s’est créé sans l’homme, et il s’achèvera sans lui”
Reminds me of another quote (author unknown) “The next world war will not decide what is right but what is left.”
