Is it true that he would walk a lobster around Paris?

I love Satie.

Who is the pianist. This is the best execution of this song I have heard thus far, and I can tell from the style that the same pianist performed some of the other movements, but who?

@ChrissieBana Thanks, now I know who the Simpsons are referring to in the episode "Lisa Gets an A"

@diddlybop Yeah, like the person before me said, that was Gérard de Nerval, not Satie. I read his novel "Sylvie", it was excellent ;)

I kind of don't see Satie as someone who could have a pet lobster, it just doesn't seem like him... but, who knows...

@ha1lenk1 I looked it up on the internet, it was the French writer Gérard de Nerval -- here's the quote from Wikipedia: "Nerval had a pet lobster named Thibault which he took for walks in the Palais Royal gardens in Paris on the end of a blue silk ribbon."

Awesome! I think he and Satie would have gotten along :-).

@diddlybop im pretty sure it was Salvador Dali the artist who walked his lobster around.

More like Erik Satire.

@diddlybop no, he was too sad to be seen around town

@dellavechiax et pourtant on continue éternellement de croire qu'on est les seuls à la subir

[maverickbrown]

@diddlybop That was Gerard de Nerval.
