WHO THE HELL IS IMRE LODBROG?
Barbara Browning Sébastien Régnier
A very true love story, told in counterpoint, about friendship, politics and rock 'n' roll.
"I said, "I was thinking about the appeal of your music and I think it's that you sound like an actor playing the role of an aging rock star, which is precisely the appeal of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, not to mention Frank Sinatra and Léo Ferré." I also could have mentioned Iggy Pop."
Swinging from present to past, from Liverpool to the Internet, two musicians and fellow travelers share their parts of the story, each in their own way.
In Barbara Browning's eyes, Imre Lodbrog is the greatest aging French rock star you've never heard of, with the appeal of "Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan or Serge Gainsbourg on shrooms." For Imre Lodbrog, music is an alter-ego experience - a late-in-life outlet for a mild-mannered screenwriter deeply shaped by the generation of Mai 68. Both ask the same questions: What revolution has wreaked more havoc and beauty than rock 'n' roll? And why do a certain few geniuses inside every revolution go silent and unrecognized?
Barbara Browning is the author of The Gift (Coffee House Press 2017), The Correspondence Artist and I'm Trying to Reach You. She teaches in the Department of Performance Studies at New York University.
Sébastien Régnier is a French song and screenwriter and winner of the French Grand Prize for Best Screenplay for Kabloonak.
