Who is the "Pretty sixteen", Edie Sedgwick?

Merci à vendettavlol pour cette vidéo qui nous permet de mettre un visage sur la "belle héroine" de Fifty-Sixty.
Alors, qui est la "pretty sixteen"?
J Fauque s'est visiblement inspiré de la vie de Edie Sedgwick, jeune manequin et comédienne californienne qui fut un temps la muse d'Andy Warhol,la compagne de Bob Dylan et l'inspiratrice du groupe rock Velvet Underground (Nico, la chanteuse du groupe et maîtresse de Lou Reed aurait pu la jalouser),
le vers "Vas-y, joue-le ton dernier rôle" fait référence à sa fin tragique, quand, droguée, elle tint son propre rôle dans "Ciao, Manhattan".
Seule réserve, Edie Sedgwick n'avait pas 16 ans quand elle rencontre Warhol en 1965, mais 22 ans.
Anorexique, droguée, ruinée, "jetée" par Andy Warhol, elle meurt à 28 ans.
Sous cet éclairage, la chanson d'Alizée prend une dimension plus...tragique!!

Then, who is "pretty sixteen"?

J Fauque was apparently inspired by Edie Sedgwick's life, young top model and Californian comedienne who was Andy Warhol's muse, partner of Bob Dylan and the inspirer of the rock group Velvet Underground (Nico, singer of the group and girlfriend of Lou Reed would have been able to be jealous of her.)

The verse "Vas-y, joue-le ton dernier rôle" makes reference to her tragic end, when, given drugs, she held her own role in the movie "Ciao, Manhattan ".

But, Edie Sedgwick was not 16 when she meets Warhol in 1965, but 22 ??

Anorexic, drug-addict, ruined, left by Andy Warhol, she died very young, she was 28 .

Now, the song of Alizée takes a more tragic dimension!!

Lets just say that Alizee is Eddie (only much smarter and cuter). The question then would be; who's Andy? Maybe M.F. or L.B. . I really think she feels that she was exploited when she started out. Who knows, 50/60 could be just another song or it could be a parody.

at her most luscious as a natural, long haired brunette.

I did not know she was once married to Charles Manson.

it was all about the soup, that's all. The rest is just hopeless 1960's/retro romanticism. More soup anybody, there's just sooooo much common soup!

Bien vu!! C'est clair. Wikipedia confirme en citant fifty-Sixty dans les hommages.

Je pense que ce n'est pas seulement un problème d'exploitation; Alizée était entrain de se perdre "corps et âme" comme Edie.Pretty sixteen est la préfiguration de ce qu'aurait pu devenir Alizée si elle n'avait pas fui...
