From 1967, please enjoy the pre-cosmic Moody Blues with the great Denny Laine and their oh so sad and haunting ode to Parisian heartbreak, the gorgeous and very French -- dig that accordion! -- "Boulevard de La Madeleine."
It's a sad day in Paris
With no girl by my side
Got to feeling so badly
Like a part of me died
It would have been
So good to see her
I never thought
She wouldn't be there
There's no girl standing there
And there's no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine
I was luckier than the song's protagonist, of course; I got to stand on the street with a certain shady dame taking the picture, if not quite by my side (until we were done, obviously.)

Justifying the beret, aren't you. Cute.
I can practically smell the gauloises and sweat! (not from you, of course...) Have a ball!
Love Denny Laine!
Are you quaffing elitist vin ordinaire, or is that a contradiction in terms?
Wow, Dayton sure looks different than I remember! :)
Ah, Ohio in the fall! Tres jolie!

You must have found the only street without orange barrells!
