@garybrown57 Yes, he impressed me when I saw him on Braden decades ago. Always a liberal influence I thought, not sure about PC but funny - French chansonnier tradition. Brilliant stuff. Cheers Jake.

@ashkeys1 I think the devout Jake T with his mixture of irreverence and wit would have had a few negative things to say about this Pope, were he around today, just because one might follow a religion doesn't make one blind to its failings-I think Jake would have appreciate this

@SuperJoshua99 If you understand French try Georges Brassens, he is of the same kind...

hi
i would have thought whoever posted this vid would have been aware that Jake was a devout Roman Catholic so may not have been aiming the song at his beloved institution even if he did take the micky pretty liberally out of authority figures in general.

great lyrics and a very fitting video, was the song ever directed at the pope? or just famous people in general?
Well all i know is im a Jake Thackray fan now.



Nice. Keep Jake in the public ear. There's none to compare.
