Found myself walking by Portlandia today for the first time in a long while, and the first image that pops into my head? Claude Lalanne’s bizarre “L’Homme A Tete De Chou” sculpture “The Man With The Cabbage Head” which graced the cover of Serge Gainsbourg’s 1976 album of the same name.

Flash forward
![Forward Forward](/uploads/1/2/6/5/126548081/310637357.jpg)
I knock at my own door (knock knock)
and listen to the bed moaning,
I push forward in the black...
imprints on the sensitive
plates of my brains a vision like a slap in the face.
punching instantly through mach..
as if subjected to an electroshock.
the kind you'd meet in Woodstock
with two jacks.
Crack
Who do you call paranoid?
who is night porter at the Rox..
...book of my memories black...
...I do this will come back to me like a flashback,
- 1. there is a rather hard to translate pun here. 'trou de balle' (lit. 'bullet hole') is 'asshole', while 'trou d'obus' is just a detonation crater (the hole made by an exploding shell). So here he says 'one at her shell hole, the other at her bullet hole'
- 2. Here the character is pictured in a mental institution as he gets interviewed by a psychiatrist
