Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine, the man who sings about life and death, about the excluded and the inadapted, released his sixteenth album in 2011, "Suppléments de mensonges". In praise of ordinary, everyday madness, this acerbic social chronicler quotes French literary giants such as Rimbaud, Baudelaire and Boris Vian, whilst looking to the American beat generation for some of his sharpest influences. In spite of an uninterrupted series of gold discs, he remains a marginal figure on the French music scene, on the road again as his solitary journey continues.
