Extremely versatile and respected French singer-songwriter. Active since the 70s, Renaud has written some very controversial songs during his musical career, the most famous one (to British readers at least) praising all women as being better than men except Margaret Thatcher, saying that if he comes back as a dog in his next life, he will use her as a lampost… He is famously recovering from alcoholism with some degree of success.

Renaud ‘came back’ in 2002 with a huge hit ‘Manhattan-Kaboul’ (featuring Belgian singer Axelle Red), comparing the lives of a Puerto Rican in NYC to an Afghan girl in Kabul in 2001. This song catapulted his latest album to the top of the charts and earned him various awards in France. His latest album was published in october 2006 and was called “Rouge sang”.

Renaud est un vrai paradoxe: idéologie politique de chiotte, tellement gauchiste qu'il en est ridicule, une caricature incarnée, mais bordel quel poète! et quel artiste! On ne pourra jamais lui enlever son incvroyable talent...

C'est absolument inconcevable que la pêche à la ligne ne soit pas dans le top 50 des 6 derniers mois (ni même dans le top 100 O__o ....)!!!
