Albert Camus: author, philosopher, playwrite, journalist, member of the French Resistance and one-time goalkeeper. James Dean readily confessed to modelling his 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' image on Camus' La Peste cover picture. His novel The Fall was also the source of Mark E. Smith's band's name. When asked which he preferred the Theatre or Football, without hesitation he said "Football".

The music is I Can't Stand It by the Velvet Underground

  • life is the sum of all the choices you make....! so nice

  • @Yellowsubmaurine Thank you:) I think Albert would have been a Velvet's fan to. The opening lines of I Can't Stand It : "It's hard being a man, living in a garbage can" sort of echo what Camus was saying - life is tough, but through creative action the struggle can be given meaning, or as Sisyphus might have said: "Just shut up and dance!"

  • Nice. Camus would have approved, had he known the Underground.
