Port Adelaide's not ready for Liam Jurrah, says club great Warren Tredrea
- From: The Advertiser
- November 28, 2012
CLUB great Warren Tredrea says Port Adelaide should abandon plans to draft Liam Jurrah.
Tredrea says Jurrah's talent cannot be questioned, but the risk of drafting the troubled ex-Demon is greater than the reward.
"In the position Port's in now I wouldn't draft him," the Power premiership skipper said after Jurrah trained with the club for the first time yesterday.
"Sure, Jurrah's playing ability cannot be questioned, he has enormous talent, but he has a major court case hanging over his head and there is a chance he could go to jail.
"Port is trying to rebuild after a few years of inconsistency, it's got a new coach, new players and a young playing group. The last thing the club needs is some off-field instability, so to me the risk of drafting Jurrah is too great."

Get off the grass Tredders .. your sounding like you have gone very soft now your a media hound ... Jurrah will be the answer to a lot of Ports problems. His talent is 2nd to none, he will put bums on seats through exciting brand of footy under a new look Port structure under Hinkley and he is passionate to succeed and play for Port. The court case is coming and we all know about it. Rookie list him .. there wont be a distraction. Let him get focused again on the footy and the rest will take care of itself ..If Hinkley thinks he is worth the gamble, then its good enough for me. Get around him Tredders and start being a Port man again .. definitely haven't been impressed with your take on the club in the past few years.

Rookie list him. pay him a rookie salary and give him a run in the sanfl. when he proves himself look at elevating him and people will get down to aami to watch him in action. It would be a massive risk if they were offering him $500,000 a year but that wont be the case. re: court hearing - innocent until proven guilty. Give the bloke a chance he's a rare talent worth taking the punt.

Alan K of Up the River Posted at 6:58 AM November 29, 2012
To me he is too greater risk at this point in time. If his court actions were behind him, then maybe, but they could drag out and become a very large distraction to all.

Tredrea, be careful about judging Jurrah, I think choosing to move to Adelaide to be with family over making big $s in Melbourne is a sign of his character. Turning up at training looking trim and eager after so many months out of the AFL system is a sign of his character. We all deserve redemption for past wrongs and I'm happy for him to try and start again at Alberton. It will also be great to have some "X factor"on the field again!

Not a Port fan, but spot on Treders. Risk management is a must and that should rule him out.

Southern Power Posted at 8:35 AM November 29, 2012
Port should absolutely pick Jurrah. We can take one risk in the draft period and if he works out right, it's good for the club and great for the extra members he has the potential to harness.

KEG of Regency Park Posted at 10:17 AM November 29, 2012
Port will be always be at a disadvantage in the national comp. The old days of recruiting locally have gone. Port now needs to be able to attract and keep the best players, and that is very difficult because Adelaide has very little to offer most players who want a more cosmopolitan location. Maybe Port can sell the great natural features of SA to country boys.

Obviously. So obviously you wonder what they are doing at Alberton. Of course they've now got Vanstone to do some thinking for them. Omygawd!

Really tredders you are so far off the track here. Whatnis so wrong with young so called impressionable players having a bit of cross culture and learning whatnlife can be like for aborigines trying to make good. Your reasons are invalid. Fitness checks sure. Availability checks sure. But leave off the hints of cultural misunderstandings.

Why not Treadway? At least he might kick some goals.

I would STILL take that chance...sorry!! Don't you worry about his fitness, won't take him long to correct that!! All the best Liam, I for one would love to be able to afford to watch a match you're playing in. Good luck

Jenny T Posted at 11:26 AM November 29, 2012
Gee thats a pretty short sighted assessment. I would have suspected that Liam Jurrah is just the 'excitment machine' that a boring club like Port need to excite the crowd.

Brendon Posted at 11:56 AM November 29, 2012
Tredrea, hates anyone that has ever done anything wrong, heard him constantly on triple M passing judgement on others, grab him port, it's just a rookie spot, who cares

Warren. Don't be stupid. We need a player like Jurrah to get people through the gate. We need an excitement machine.

Pat Posted at 12:03 PM November 29, 2012
I think everyone deserves a second chance and also he is innocent until proven guilty. Just keep things in perspective and see what happens in the next few weeks/months.
Comment 17 of 40
Jenkins of Oz Posted at 12:29 PM November 29, 2012
What Tredrea fails to see with the addition of Jurrah to the Port list, is that such an excitement machine will inevitably put more bums on seats which has been sadly lacking for a number of years. The club has already taken the big broom and swept away much of the baggage which has held it back. Now is not the time to be conservative. The time has come to 'grab the bull by the horns' and give it everything you got. Tredrea was a great player for Port but his vision for the future is sadly clouded.

David of Adelaide Posted at 12:36 PM November 29, 2012
I'm not a Port fan, but seriously, this guy has a lot to contend with. the media should leave him alone and let him rebuild his career. He obviously doesn't like the spotlight so show some respect.

ab of adelaide Posted at 1:13 PM November 29, 2012
Is there another big footy story going on in SA at the moment? Cant seem to think of what it is- something to do with draft tampering, salary cap rorting? Or we just sweeping that under the carpet using Liam Jurrah as the broom? I think the Advertiser should be congratulated on their 'investigation' into the above scandal (or maybe lack of investigation is a better term to use).

Simmo of Adelaide Posted at 1:15 PM November 29, 2012
selective photography? I'd be more than happy for a physique like Jurrah's plus I guarantee that with his metabolism, he'll lose any excess weight within 2 weeks. Port is the right club for Jurrah given they have a long list of past great aboriginal players at their club. For the sake of the game, I hope everything works out for Jurrah and we see him continue his career.

Andy of APY Lands Posted at 1:33 PM November 29, 2012
jurrah is a must at least on the Rookie list.Excitement machine who will draw a crowd which is what KT is so much trying to do. Step in Keith and tell Liam to get fit and he will get a game. Maybe the lad needs some distraction from the stuff he is going through off field.Sign him up to the Port magpies and get some of the old school indigenous to teach him the Port Adelaide way.

Proud of Alberton Posted at 1:39 PM November 29, 2012
Hey Tredders - Instead of helping out Tex with his game and bagging the Power why don't you get back to Alberton and help the Club that gave you so much

Kokldiva of Happy Valley Posted at 2:04 PM November 29, 2012
Warren, you're a legend, but there's an old saying you've forgotten: 'faint heart ne'er won fair lady.' I'm not suggesting Jurrah is 'fair' as looks go, far from it, but he's the X-factor Port needs in their list. The key to risk management is risk minimisation. If Jurrah does get taken by Port as a rookie, it's vital for the Port Magpies to take him in the SANFL mini-draft so that management of him in 2013 is not sub-contracted elsewhere. What happens at the trial in March can't be second-guessed, but not having the optimum football plan in place for Jurrah should he be available wouldn't be this 'best practice' thing the suits promote these days.

AK of Port Adelaide Posted at 2:23 PM November 29, 2012
Port Adelaide has always been the club that never looked at class, colour or history. If you wore the jumper and represented the club with your sweat, blood and tears, then you were one of us. Leave the judgements for the courts to make and when he(Jurrah) comes good, we(Port supporters) will be laughing when he's taking screamers and kicking goals all over the place...plus we won't be breaking the salary cap with $50k...as opposed to $800k for an overrated player.

Good call Warren. Ability of Liam is not questioned, but all the extra baggage that comes with him is far more than Port can risk at the moment. There are a number of players available who can provide years of reliable service without the need of a significant support team.
Comment 30 of 40
A Hinkley Believer Posted at 4:05 PM November 29, 2012
Dead right Treaders. Port would be crazy to select Jurrah over some semi-talented kid who can be developed. Added to this he may have top go to gaol in March. So why waste money and a spot on the list on Liam.

Paul of Port Adelaide of Adelaide Posted at 4:06 PM November 29, 2012
A quote from Andrew Capel's story above.... "There was no sign of the extra weight Jurrah was reportedly carrying following his decision to move to Adelaide." _ Did you not look at the photo accompanying this story in The Advertiser? I thought Byron Picket was back.

There is still time of adelaide Posted at 4:29 PM November 29, 2012
Not a port fan but i had the privilege of getting to spend some time with Fos Williams and if there are any old school (whose guts we love to hate) left at the SANFL pies work him as a rookie who will play NEXT year and if you get this year it's a bonus. Still young enough.Look at mature age rookie sucesses

Syd of Adelaide Posted at 5:05 PM November 29, 2012
Tredas sorry your wrong on this call. Port have always been about giving a bloke a fair go regardless of the critics. Jurrah it's up to you to show the critics are wrong.

Hayley Posted at 6:35 PM November 29, 2012
Sometimes I just wish Warren would be quiet. Port Power send their players to meet offenders in the prison system. The idea is to encourage the inmates to turn their lives around. Lets practice what you preach!

Snowy of 50m mark Posted at 6:43 PM November 29, 2012
The PAFC should be taking the risk and rooking listing Jurrah. I've been a paid member since the start and want to watch people like this play football for our club. Players that provide some highlights and excitement are like gold. Lets get him in the sytem manage the issues and if need be let him loose at Adelaide oval in 2014.

Modbury Posted at 7:16 PM November 29, 2012
Tredders, you were an outstanding Port Adelaide player and captain, but you are wrong with regard to Liam Jurrah. He is an incredible talent and will be a massive fan favourite. Liam would be aware that this really is his last chance to play AFL, so he will be playing his heart out for our club. Grab him on the Rookie list, please Port!!!

Please dont lisen to Warren, this is talent knocking at your door and we need him. We need another picket to get crowds back to the games to watch a star in action. Warren really come on give it a rest mate.

Cagegirl of Adelaide Posted at 9:58 PM November 29, 2012
Warren, you don't have many backers on here. Give Liam a chance. It's only the rookie list. And if he isn't quite right have Port Magpies take him on the SANFL list. Until he is ready to shine!

AT THE PEAK OF HIS CAREER and in the full ripeness of his abundant talents, the intellectual historian Tony Judt was struck down by Lou Gehrig's disease. He died before his 63rd birthday. Judt was someone America needed in these rancid times: a superbly trained intellect, magnificently informed, passionate about the truth and fearless in speaking it to power. With his 2005 book Postwar he had come about as close to reaching the mass market as is possible for a genuine scholar in the age of Dan Brown. It is painful to consider how Judt, had he lived, might have enriched the ridiculous circus that is public discourse in the United States today, and what sort of impact he could have had as he went about the lonely business of exposing the holes in the prevailing popular wisdom.
We Americans seem no longer able to keep the kinds of people we most need — even in cases when they aren't felled by incurable diseases. When the state of New York gives rise to a governor willing to challenge the buccaneers of Wall Street, he quickly self-immolates via a blazing sex scandal. When, in the sewer that the U.S. Senate has become, one man somehow keeps himself clean and clear-headed through a miraculous three terms, even casting the only vote against the Patriot Act, the voters of Wisconsin (supposedly and ironically burning with rage at the Washington Establishment) replace him with a nonentity summoned to public service by the big money. And if two genuinely progressive members of Congress survive in the rust belt of northern Ohio, count on the state legislature to amuse itself by throwing them together into the same new district so that, no matter what the voters want, only one can possibly survive.
So perhaps we should be grateful not only that Tony Judt lasted as long as he did, but that he wrote and spoke as much as he did and received at least a measure of attention while what looks increasingly like a new dark age descended upon us. In a nation capable of swallowing Newt Gingrich's claims of being a "historian" (and to have been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by a mortgage company for his services in that capacity), a real historian as substantial as Judt never had much chance of being more than a ghost at the feast. A culture befuddled enough to heap fame and riches on charlatans as mean-minded as Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter should not be expected to have much honor to spare for a genuinely prophetic figure bearing unwelcome news.
What made Judt special — what made him possible, innate brainpower and integrity aside — was his remarkable life story. Born in London in 1948 to immigrant Jewish parents whose roots were in various parts of Russia's czarist empire, he grew up in a household where the tenets of Marxism (not to be confused with Stalinism) were accepted as obviously and importantly true. In early adolescence he became an ardent Zionist, spending long periods on kibbutzim in the fledgling state of Israel. But by the end of his undergraduate years at King's College, Cambridge (which he attended on a scholarship), Judt had absorbed and discarded both Marxism and Zionism alike. The academic career that followed seems almost to have been arranged by fate to prevent him from settling into even the most respectable kind of rut: a doctorate in French history (conferred by Cambridge, but earned on the continent under the guidance of Parisian mentors)...

Air Force Materiel Command Command Chief
12/5/2011 -
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio
-- Air Force Materiel Command's "2011 Year of the Community College of the Air Force" campaign has been a smashing success. Over the past twelve months, more than 700 volunteer mentors sought face-to-face contact with 10,009 Airmen to encourage education. Their efforts resulted in 1,685 graduates at our bases, the most in the history of the command. Mentors met with their mentees to discuss degree plans, explain resources available through the base education office and share their educational journey. The stories described finding time for classes amid long hours, deployments, rigorous inspections, local exercises, transfers from one base to another and night shifts. Whatever the challenge, going to school wasn't easy. Those stories, however, turned out to be the simple secret to YoCCAF's success. Mentors reached out to people in a personal way and said, "If I can do it, you can too."
As 2011 nears an end, it is my honor to share my educational journey.
Over the years I have enrolled in a variety of schools. I disenrolled just about as many times. In the early '90s, I was taking weekend courses for an industrial engineering degree but lost my weekends off. This was before online school, so I had to drop the program. Later I was working toward a professional aeronautics degree, but dozens of temporary duties, deployments and military schools kept me on the road. But I wasn't complaining. As a crew chief, "bending" wrenches was extremely rewarding. And the only thing better than turning wrenches was bending them on a TDY! Travel brought me to some 40 countries. One year I witnessed the sun rise in Egypt in the spring and saw as it set in Antarctica in the fall ... only to witness it rise again five minutes later. The mission brought great satisfaction. It also armed me with a ready excuse. There was never time for school.
There were always distractions, like breaking 80 in golf, pressing 400 pounds on the bench, spiking the volleyball 90 mph and jumping ocean waves in my 28-foot offshore racer. Sure, I'd take a class here and there, but there was no real focus. Oh yeah, let's not forget softball, football, fishing, camping, and hours of mindless video games. There was no time to finish school for the better part of my career. It all boiled down to priorities -- and school wasn't one. But that changed in 2007.
It was my first day in a new online sociology class and I was typing my introduction to new classmates. My comments explained how I assumed a new position, had upcoming business trips and would be filling in for the command chief, etc, etc, etc. In reality, the note was simply a laundry list of reasons to drop out. Just before I posted it on the blackboard, another message popped up: "Hi Classmates."
The message described the story of a single mother who had four children. She was working three jobs and was enrolled in three undergraduate classes to accelerate her degree. She was trying to graduate early to receive a promotion so she could quit her two part time jobs. This was a person determined to achieve a goal to make a better life for her family. How admirable was that? I realized I had never committed to my educational goal.
Since 2007, her story has inspired me to lay concrete plans. It fueled me to finish up my undergraduate degree and catapulted me through my graduate program. Her story has been a topic of many of my speeches, conversations and stories because it exemplifies a fundamental truth best said by Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can or can't, you're right!" It's about perspective. Since then, anytime my plate has seemed full I only remind myself of her inspirational story to regain my focus. In fact, as I write this, I am in the final class for an executive certificate at the University of Notre Dame. And like so many others, I promise, "If I can do it, anyone can!"

PETA Beauty Exposes All, Including Truth About Ringling's Abuse of Animals
For Immediate Release: May 25, 2010
Contact: Virginia Fort 757-622-7382
Baton Rouge, La. -- Wearing nothing but shackles and covered in "scars" from violent "beatings"--which are an everyday reality for animals in circuses--PETA member Caroline Slocum will protest on Tuesday in Baton Rouge against the arrival of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Where: Southwest corner of Third and Florida streets, Baton RougeWhen: Tuesday, May 25, 12 noon
"I'm here to expose what the circus is so desperate to hide from the public," says Slocum. "These animals have been beaten and deprived of their precious freedom--all for a lifetime of cheap tricks."
PETA has released dozens of never-before-seen photos taken inside Ringling's Florida training center by a veteran elephant handler. The photos expose how still-nursing baby elephants are captured rodeo-style and dragged away from their mothers. The babies scream and struggle frantically as they are wrestled, stretched out, slammed to the ground, gouged with steel-tipped bullhooks, and shocked with electric prods. These abusive sessions go on for several hours a day for up to a year.
For more information, please visit PETA's Web site RinglingBeatsAnimals.com.

R.I.P. Isabelle Caro
Dodai at Jezebel reports that Isabelle Caro, French model turned anti-anorexia activist, died last month. Caro's billboard campaign was controversial in part because it relied on the visual shock of her naked body, thematizing one of the biggest fears of a person with anorexia: that one's body will be uncontrollably exposed to the scrutiny of the world at large.

Less shapely, more sweet
I got burnt out on the internet for a while. We all do; it's normal. Co-running a feminist blog was simultaneously the most heartening and dispiriting thing I've ever done.

Relapse & Surrender
…the acts which led to the relapses were preceded by wrong thinking. The patient in each case rationalized himself out of a sense of his own perilous reality. He deliberately
turned away from his knowledge of the fact that he had been the victim of a serious disease. He grew over-confident. He decided he didn't have to follow directions.
"Slips and Human Nature", by Dr. William Duncan Silkworth (wrote most of The Doctor's
Opinion in the AA Big Book)
One fact must be kept in mind, namely, the need to distinguish between submission and surrender.
In submission, an individual accepts reality consciously, but not unconsciously. He or she accepts as a practical fact that he or she cannot at that moment lick reality, but lurking in the unconscious is the feeling, "there'll come a day", which
implies no real acceptance and demonstrates conclusively that the struggle is still on.
With submission, which at best is a superficial yielding, tension continues.
Dr. Harry M. Tiebout (early non-alcoholic friend of AA)
(Source: lahacienda.com)
I began to listen. Slowly but surely, some wisdom and humility began to creep in.
I became teachable. I found God working all around me
where previously I was sure I had been alone.
When I opened my eyes enough to see the miracle,
I found that it was right in front of my face. I was growing in God's love.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 430

Meet Dr. Hager!
Dr. Hager graduated from Texas A&M University in 1984 with a B.S. in Microbiology. Graduation from medical school at the University of Texas, Medical Branch in 1988 was followed by completion of psychiatry training there in 1992. He was certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 1995.
Dr. Hager's career has spanned military, private practice, state hospital, developmental disability, and correctional settings. While working for Prison Health Services, he served as the Director of Mental Health Services for the Indiana Department of Correction.
Jails proved to be a very active firing line for working with addicts and alcoholics. Dr. Hager's affinity for this was catalyzed by a strong personal interest in the spirituality of recovery.
In addition to work, Dr. Hager is a member of a local cycling team, does website design, and spends time with a family that stays busy with horse shows, shooting sports, golf and flying.

Colorado Star
Colorado Star – Colorado state news serviceThe Colorado Star is essentially a local Colorado newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Colorado, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Colorado, Colorado, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Colorado Star.

Usmagazine.com has exclusive, never-before-seen footage of Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial accident, filmed in L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium on Jan. 27, 1984.
The clip shows one take where the pyrotechnics exploded as planned -- after Jackson descended the stairs and began performing with his brothers.
On the sixth take, though, things went horribly wrong: The fireworks erupted too early, igniting Jackson's head in flames. Jackson is at first unaware he's on fire, and continues dancing.
He was never the same after the accident, reports the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands today.
To relieve the second and third-degree burns on his scalp and body (and later to help him tolerate multiple surgeries on the scorched spot on his head), Jackson was prescribed several medications -- which kicked off his addiction to painkillers and obsession with plastic surgery, multiple sources tell Us.
More details about how the accident led to Jackson's drug use are in the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now.

Georges Brassens, one of the most important figures in French musical history, created his unique style in the 40's, forging a legendary reputation with his poetical texts set to simple, but catchy, melodies.
Georges Brassens was born in Sète, a small harbour town on the French Mediterranean coast, on October 22 1921. His father, Louis Brassens, a builder and local entrepreneur, married Elvira Dagrosa (recently widowed in the First World War) in 1919 and Georges was brought up with his nine-year-old half-sister, Simone, the child from his mother's previous marriage.
Although his parents had fundamentally different points of view on many issues including religion (Elvira was an extremely pious woman, whereas Louis was a notorious anti-cleric) Georges grew up in a happy family environment. Music filled the Sète household throughout Georges's childhood. Indeed, his mother, greatly influenced by her Neapolitan origins, had a veritable passion for traditional Italian folk songs and mandolin music. The young Georges was encouraged to play the mandolin from an early age and it was on this instrument that he learnt the simple chords he would later develop on the guitar.
Georges was an average pupil at school, but his French teacher Alphonse Bonnafé (who would go on to write the first Brassens biography in 1963) soon introduced him to poetry, which was to become the young Georges's overwhelming passion in life. Georges soon began writing poems and song lyrics in his spare time, setting these to the fashionable tunes of the day. Georges then went on to form his own group, "Jazz", a small orchestra which performed at local fetes and cultural events. (Georges was the drummer).
By this time Georges had proved that his talents were definitely not related to his school studies. His future was decided for him when, following a theft at his school in the autumn of 1938 (a theft in which Georges was implicated without actually having been involved) he was obliged to leave the school. Georges had already outgrown the small town of Sète anyway and he was thinking of packing his bags and moving to Paris. But when war broke out at the end of the year (an event which did not really affect life in Sète) Georges continued working with his father, delaying his plans for a while. In February 1940, howeevr, he finally arrived in the capital, where he lived with his aunt, Antoinette Dagrosa, for the first few months, and worked at the Renault car factory to earn his living.
Georges continued writing poetry, however, and he would frequently return from work and sit down at his aunt's piano to compose new songs. When Paris was bombarded later that year he returned to Sète for a few months, but he was back in the capital by September. From this point on Georges devoted all his time and energy to his poetry and by 1942 he had succeeded in publishing two short collections of poems, "A la venvole" and "Des coups d'épée dans l'eau".
In March 1943 Brassens was sent to Germany to work as an S.T.O. (an obligatory war worker) at Basdorf. It was here that Brassens met fellow S.T.O. Pierre Onténiente, who would become one of the singer's lifelong friends. In 1956 Onténiente (whom Brassens who had a penchant for nicknames always referred to as "Gibralter") would become his private secretary and closest confidant.
Brassens, the ever-faithful friend
Brassens placed enormous importance on friendship and throughout his life he would remain faithful to his childhood friends from Sète and the new friends he made in Germany. Brassens was also close friends with numerous celebrities (including the writer René Fallet, Belgian singer Jacques Brel, the French comedian Raymond Devos and the actor Lino Ventura).
In March 1944 Brassens returned home on leave. Vowing that he would never go back to Germany he went into hiding in Paris in the home of Jeanne and Marcel Planche, a couple to whom Brassens remained devoted for the rest of his life. Indeed, in the course of his career, Brassens would devote numerous songs to the Planches, such as "La canne de Jeanne" (in 1953) and "Chanson pour l'auvergnat" for Marcel (in 1955). The singer would end up living with the couple until 1966.
It was while living in the Planches's home, surrounded by the cats he adored, that Brassens composed many of his classic songs. The singer would rarely compose his work by picking out chords on his guitar. Instead, he would begin by creating rhymes in his texts, tapping out a rhythm on his desk by hand. He would then pick out a simple melody on the piano, fitting the lyrics around the notes. Although his melodies always appeared exceedingly simple, they were generally fairly complex compositions. Brassens, having received no formal musical training created his own rules as he went along.
In 1946 Brassens began to earn a living by publishing articles in the anarchist review "Le Libertaire". While Brassens may not have expressed his personal form of anarchy in a political way, such as the famous French protest singer Léo Ferré did, his songs were openly irreverent and anti-conformist. Brassens was already ready to attack hypocrisy and social coventions, and particularly eager to launch attacks on his bête noire, religion. Brassens would also write numerous songs about society's underclass, peopling his lyrics with tramps and prostitutes.
In 1947 Brassens published his first novel "La lune écoute aux portes". At this point in his career Brassens was still continuing to devote time and energy to his songwriting career. Indeed, he penned some of his most famous songs during this period (such as "Brave Margot", "La mauvaise réputation" and "Le Gorille", a fervent plea against the death penalty which remained banned from French airwaves for several years).
It was in also around this time that Brassens met and fell in love with Joha Heiman, the Estonian woman with whom he would share the rest of his life. Although the couple never married or lived in the same house, they were devoted to one another. Georges nicknamed Joha Püppchen (Little Puppy) and once said of her, "Joha's not my wife, she's my goddess".
1952 - Brassens meets the famous music-hall star Patachou
Brassens's vertiginous rise to fame did not actually begin until the 1950's. In the early days of his career Brassens had to struggle to get his work accepted on the cabaret circuit. However, thanks to Jacques Grello, a singer already known on the cabaret scene, Georges managed to place a few songs at the Caveau de la République, Milord l'Arsouille, la Villa d'Este and the famous Lapin Agile cabaret in Montmartre. But audiences were not really interested in his lyrics.
The songwriter was beginning to lose hope of ever making a living on the cabaret circuit when, in 1952, he auditioned for the singer Patachou, who owned one of the most fashionable night-spots in Paris. There were very few people in the audience on March 6th when Brassens sang his material, but the few there were greeted his performance with rapturous applause and Patachou engaged him on the spot. (Thanks to this audition Brassens would also meet Pierre Nicolas, who would become his loyal double-bass player for the rest of his career). Patachou, greatly impressed by Brassens's work, finally managed to persuade him that he should be up on stage singing his work rather than her. In spite of the fact that Brassens was an extremely timid man who had never imagined himself as anything but a simple songwriter, he would finally overcame his stage fright and begin singing on the cabaret circuit.
Brassens went on to prove an enormous hit, both with cabaret audiences and the music critics and Jacques Canetti, artistic director of the Polydor label and owner of Les Trois Baudets cabaret immediately offered the singer a permanent spot. Canetti was also keen to get Brassens into the recording studio. But first he sent the singer off on a summer tour so that he would gain the experience necessary to confront major Parisian audiences when he supported Henri Salvador. Canetti needn't have worried, Brassens proved an enormous hit with audiences when he performed with Salvador later that year. Nothing could stop Brassens's rise to fame now - not even controversial songs like "Le Gorille" (which openly denounced the death penalty).
Brassens's lyrics also caused a few problems when it came to recording some of his songs, but thanks to Jacques Canetti's unbending will, Brassens' first 45rpm and 78rpm singles came out on the Polydor label in 1952.
1953 - Concert debut at the Bobino
On October 16 1953, Georges Brassens gave his first major concert in Paris, performing at the Bobino Theatre. (Brassens's name would remain inextricably linked to the Bobino's history, for the singer performed there no less than 13 times). 1953 also saw the publication of Brassens's new novel "La Tour des miracles". In December of that year Brassens's début album was released, under the humourous title "Georges Brassens chante les chansons poétiques (et souvent gaillardes) de ... Georges Brassens". ("Georges Brassens sings the poetic (and often rather risqué) songs of Georges Brassens"). In 1954 Brassens also performed at the Olympia for the first time (appearing at the legendary Paris music-hall twice in February and returning for another successful concert in September).
1954 also saw the publication of "La mauvaise réputation", a collection of poems and lyrics which proved that Brassens was not only a talented singer with an innovative singing style, but also a gifted poet with absolute mastery of the French language. Brassens's exceptional talent was recognised later that year when he was awarded the "Grand Prix de l'Académie du Disque Charles Cros" for his album "Le parapluie". Brassens would also go on to set the work of other French poets to music (François Villon in the song "Ballade des dames du temps jadis", Victor Hugo in "Gastibelza" and his friend Paul Fort in the song "Le petit cheval").
Following the release of his second album in 1954, Brassens, now under Canetti's judicious management, set off on numerous tours of Europe and North Africa. In 1955 the newly-created radio station Europe 1 was the first French station to dare to play Brassens's controversial song "Le Gorille", which had previously been banned from the nation's airwaves. After the release of his third album in April 1955, Brassens set off on tour, once again giving a memorable performance at the Olympia in October. (Later that year the singer would buy Jeanne and Marcel Planche's home for them, purchasing the neighbouring house for himself).
After a series of concerts at the Bobino in January 1956, Brassens was offered a role in René Clair's film "Portes des Lilas". In his first and only film role Brassens was perfectly cast, playing a character very similar to himself. At the start of 1956 Brassens's old friend Pierre Onténiente became his private secretary, helping him set up his own recording company "Les Editions Musicales 57". Meanwhile Brassens continued with his busy live schedule, performing at the Olympia in May, L'Alhambra in October and the Bobino (from November 29 to December 18). The singer spent the following year on tour (only returning to Paris for a brief appearance at the Olympia (between October 22 and November 17).
Later that year Brassens, who had continued living with his old friends Marcel and Jeanne Planche, bought a mansion in Crespières (in Northern France).
In 1959 the ever-energetic Brassens embarked upon a new tour and gave another memorable performance at the Olympia in November. But while the singer was holidaying in Biarritz that year he became violently ill (an incident which would later inspire his song "L'Epave" ("The Wreck").
In fact ever since the end of the war Brassens had been suffering from renal colic and kidney stones, and he was often in such pain that he would have to leave the stage in mid-performance.
1960 proved to be a somewhat happier year for Brassens, beginning with a successful series of concerts at the Olympia (January 21 - February 15), followed by a stint at Bobino in April. (It was during one of his concerts at the Bobino that Brassens would learn of the death of one of his closest friends, the poet Paul Fort, on April 20). The following year Brassens flew off to Canada on an extensive tour which lasted through October and November. The singer then returned to give another successful show at the Olympia.
December 1962 was marked by two major events, the release of "Les trompettes de la renommée", Brassens's ninth album and the death of his mother Elvira on December 31st.
The following year Brassens was taken into hospital for a kidney operation on January 16th 1963, just a few weeks before his old teacher Alphonse Bonnafé published his first official biography. Later that year a boxed set of 10 records was released to mark the tenth anniversary of Brassens's singing career.
1964 - Brassens writes the theme song "les Copains d'abord"
In 1964 Brassens renewed his links with French cinema, writing the theme song "Les Copains d'abord" for Yves Robert's film "Les Copains". This song was included on Brassens's new album released in November of that year. The release coincided with an extremely successful series of concerts at the Bobino (from October 21 1964 - January 10 1965), 120,000 fans flocking to see Brassens in concert.
On March 28 1964 Brassens lost his father, and this sad event was soon followed by the death of his old friend Marcel Planche.
On October 12 1965 Brassens got the chance to perform with one of his greatest idols, Charles Trenet, when the pair sang together on the radio programme "Musicora", recorded live at the ABC. The following year after an extensive national tour, Brassens went on to appear in concert with Juliette Gréco at the Théâtre National de Paris (September 16 - October 23).
After living in Jeanne and Marcel Planche's tiny house in impasse Florimont for more than 20 years, Brassens finally moved out to live in a more modern appartment. Modern flats were obviously not to his taste however for he moved out shortly afterwards to buy a house in the 15th arrondissement in 1969.
Following a series of concerts at the Bobino and another successful tour, Brassens was taken back into hospital where he underwent another operation on May 12 1967. Later that year Brassens was honoured by the French Academy who awarded him the prestigious "Prix de poésie de l'Académie Française". The writer René Fallet also paid tribute to his old friend, publishing a biography of the singer.
Georges Brassens was forced to watch the revolutionary events of May 1968 from his hospital bed, where he was recovering from another attack of renal colic. Later that year news of a far less happy event reached the singer when he learnt of the death of his old friend Jeanne Planche (who died on October 24 1968).
By the end of the 60's, however, Brassens was firmly back at the forefront of the music scene. Joined on stage by his faithful double-bass player Pierre Nicolas and a new musician, young guitarist Joël Favreau, Brassens threw himself back into his live performances with passion.
1969 - the legendary interview with Brel and Ferré
On 6 January 1969 Brassens was invited to take part in a legendary programme organised by the French music magazine "Rock et Folk" and the radio station RTL who got Brassens into the studio with the two other most important stars of French chanson, Léo Ferré and Jacques Brel. Brassens's work was also honoured in the education system that year, his texts included in the entrance exam for the prestigious Ecole Normale Supérieure. Brassens ended the year with a series of triumphant concerts at his favourite venue, the Bobino (October 14 1969 - January 4 1970). After two concerts at La Mutualité in March Brassens embarked upon another extensive tour in 1970.
In 1972 a boxed set of 11 albums and a complete collection of Brassens's poems and lyrics were released to mark the 20th anniversary of his career. Later that year Brassens was to buy a house in the country, in Lézardrieux (near Paimpol) in Brittany. Brassens, born on the Mediterranean coast, had discovered Brittany through his old Breton friend Jeanne Planche. Over the years Brassens grew to love this region where the picturesque ports filled with the chatter of fishermen reminded him of his childhood in the harbour town of Sète. He even went so far as to learn the Breton dialect.
From October 1972 through to January 1973 Brassens performed another long series of concerts at the Bobino (supported by a host of young up-and-coming stars such as Maxime Le Forestier, Henri Tachan, Yves Simon and Philippe Chatel who went on to write a book about Brassens). Although Brassens was only 51 at this point, the singer, who had been considerably weakened by his health problems, had already started to find his touring schedule exhausting. Brassens's 1973 tour of France and Belgium was to prove his last. Fortunately, Brassens's concert at the Sherman Theatre at Cardiff University on October 28 of that year was recorded (one of the very few live Brassens recordings ever made) and released as the "Live in Great Britain" album in 1974.
In 1975 Brassens was awarded the "Grand Prix de la ville de Paris".
1977 - the final farewell at the Bobino
Brassens recorded his last album in 1976. On March 20 1977 the singer gave a final performance at the Bobino (the last in a series of 'farewell' concerts which had been attended by thousands of fans).
In 1979 Brassens's old musician friend Moustache persuaded him to return to the studio, to take part in recording an album of jazz versions of his most famous songs. Brassens, who had been a great jazz fan since his youth, readily accepted and joined a host of famous American jazz musicians in the studio as they recorded "Chanson pour l'auvergnat", "le Pornographe", "la Chasse aux papillons" and "Elégie pour un rat de cave" (the only non-instrumental track on the album). Later that year Brassens would also sing on Philippe Châtel's album "Emilie Jolie", performing "La Chanson du hérisson" as a duet with Henri Salvador.
At the end of the year Jacques Chirac, mayor of Paris at the time, presented Brassens with the coveted "Grand Prix du Disque" for his outstanding contribution to French music. In 1980, the singer, already very sick, made a final trip to the studio to record a series of old French chanson classics (Charles Trenet, Jean Boyer, Paul Misraki and his own works) to raise money for the "Perce Neige" charity for handicapped children set up by his old friend Lino Ventura.
In November Brassens, diagnosed as suffering from cancer, underwent a third kidney operation. The following year death, which he had so often depicted in his poetry and his songs, finally caught up with him on October 29 1981. Brassens died in the tiny village of Saint-Gely-du-Fesc, near his hometown Sète, at the house of his doctor and lifelong friend Maurice Bousquet. The singer was buried in Sète in the Cimetière du Py, known locally as the "Cemetery of the Poor".
Georges Brassens's modest simplicity made him one of the best-loved figures on the French music scene. His repertoire of classic songs, often controversial but never gratuitously provocative, painted a telling portrait of the society he lived in. Brassens poetry and songs live on today, studied by millions of French school children as part of the national curriculum and covered by singers and musicians the world over. Graeme Allwright has recorded Brassens's songs in English, while Sam Alpha has sung them in Creole and Paco Ibanez in Spanish. A host of famous French stars have, of course, covered the most famous Brassens classics (Maxime Le Forestier, Renaud, Barbara and the Frères Jacques have all devoted an entire album to Brassens songs). A special tribute album, "Chantons Brassens", the brainchild of Joël Favreau, also included contributions from actors and singers such as Michel Fugain, Manu Dibango, Philippe Léotard and Françoise Hardy.
Remembered as the 'famous singer with the moustache', as well as a compassionate humanist concerned for his fellow men, Brassens has become a legendary part of French musical heritage.

Under the Radar
Preserving History, One Building at a Time
Patch columnist Marsia Mason hopes Moorestown always holds onto its architectural heritage.
The British have an expression I've heard frequently in movies, one used when the upper-crusters were forced to lower their standard of living due to some unforeseen financial setback: "We must retrench!" We, on this side of the pond, use the term "tighten one's belt," but I do so prefer retrench. And even though it does not apply to our change of vacation venue, I will use it nonetheless to describe the fact that this year we have retrenched, hauling our beach gear from Ship Bottom to Beach Haven, from an aqua shoebox the size and shape of a stick of butter to a worn-out ranch house, circa 1960.
