Kind of a funny story. Indulge me.
My poor father has been searching for a replacement vehicle (new car sounds so materialistic). Since 1985 he has driven nothing but Chrysler minivans, and has sworn by them as the most efficient cars around. Unfortunately, the minivan is going by way of the dodo. My dad would just get another of what he has know if he could, but it's not an option.
So we've both been researching minivan-like vehicles for months. Finally, he's starting to like the Chevrolet Equinox (that's the tie in). But after more than thirty years of using the French version in his speech because of Jarre's Equinoxe I'm having to train him in saying the word in a way our local car dealing folks will understand.
But there's no way around it. "Equinox" just looks strange to us. "We can fix it," I told him. "We'll get a stick on metallic 'e' to the name and have the only Equinoxe in the neighborhood."

From The Jelling Festival
Jean Michel Jarre, scene, Jelling Music Festival, Sunday 29th May
He is now a tragicomic figure him Jean Michel Jarre.
As the Frenchman appeared in Gl Vrå in 2002, sat all 1000 cars stuck in the mud of North Jutland, and when visionaries who headlined closed Jelling with a midnight concert, stood just a few thousand of the 50,000 festival wellies left in the South Jutland slipped.
The site was abandoned after three days of rain heavy hardships, and those who were to experience eccentrics, spurting the water for a few mud smeared sneakers because they found out that Jarre behaved like a lunatic scientist who had swallowed a glass of Prozac.
No blinding
The veteran show closed airspace over Jelling because of his laser light was a threat to flight safety, but blinding was the few rays now not straightforward, and it is probably doubtful that alarmism could have many garden birds to roam uncertain of its wings. Rather, it was a threat to good taste.

Although the somewhat Altmodisch and quite completed scenography possessed a certain geeky charm, so you can not say the same about music.
A bygone era
62-year-old Jarre has a few catchy themes, but his New Age-like naivete of a bygone era sounded hopelessly obsolete, and if we compare with Kraftwerk, the electronic composer does not match the Germans' cool format and different classic sound.
Jelling Music Festival anno 2011 was despite the circumstances actually a tolerable game, though neither will be remembered for Jarre, his idiot good tones or long neon tubes, but for rain, rain and again rain.
Jean Michel Jarre is famous - and infamous in the North - for its spectacular concerts, and after the mud disaster in Gl Vrå in 2002 is now mad again with visionaries from Lyon.

Sunday, he is headlining the Jelling Music Festival, and because of the Frenchman's intense laser light, which appears to be a hazard to flight safety, so close the air space just above Jelling two hours Sunday evening in a "corridor of 18 times 18 km.
- There sits a man out of Billund Airport and directing aircraft around Jelling, says festival spokesman Thorkild High to Ekstra Bladet.
The third biggest
Jelling Music Festival over the years has evolved into the country's third biggest festival after Roskilde and Skanderborg, and there are only few partout tickets back to the year edition.
25,000 spectators will over the weekend could see Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye, and among many others LOC, Nik & Jay, Black Sun and not least Jean Michel Jarre.

Mediacrity?
JEAN MICHEL JARRE, the French musician who pioneered electronic music with his album Oxygene 25 years ago, plans to perform a concert powered totally by wind, writes Maurice Chittenden.
The synthesizer player, who has played to millions of people by taking over whole cities for extravagant light and sound shows, will rely on energy from 45 windmills.
The event, planned for a wind farm near Aalborg in Denmark next spring, will include displays by wind surfers and giant projections of pictures of windmills. Carlsberg and Tuborg, the lager companies, have been involved in negotiations over possible sponsorship.
The concert for 50,000 people aims to raise more than £1m for charity and will be filmed for future broadcast.
Jarre, 53, once married to the British actress Charlotte Rampling, said: "When talking about the wind, people nearly always state what damage it can cause. However, through the music I am composing specially for the show, it will express how we can use the wind in our favour.
"Both the wind and water are elements that go back to the creation of Earth. The element of water has been used a lot by artists for many years. However, very little has been done using the wind."
Jarre, who ate nothing but beans on toast for two weeks on his first trip to Britain on a school exchange 40 years ago, said: "When you are a passenger on an aircraft you can see light and the wind as the plane rises. Thousands of images are conjured up in your mind. The wind will be the engine and the heart of the concert."
The performer, who has sold more than 50m albums, took over London’s emerging Docklands 13 years ago for a spectacular show of lasers, fireworks and images projected on buildings. Hank Marvin of the Shadows joined him on stage and the concert was watched by the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
He has since performed similar concerts in Houston, Beijing, Paris and Moscow, playing to 3m people in the Russian capital in what was claimed to be the biggest ever rock concert. He celebrated the millennium with a show at the pyramids.

If JMJ had gone into designing bumperstickers...
Is that a Moog in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Real men wear pink.
My other keyboard is a VCS3.
Cover me. I'm changing tempos.
Virgos do it first. Virgos do it best.
A man with a laser harp knows no boundaries.
I'll spell "Oxygene" any damn way I want!
Concerts around the world and still no place to park.
Nope. THAT part is not mechanical.
Don't get older. Get better!

Gone Vaporware
Not really. "Vaporware" was what we used to call people from the amnin cult who were still in the community but never popped up on IRC or newsgroups.
In this case, I've pushed the machine off to the side so that I could let the music transport me out beyond the stars.

Back to Harmonic OBE
It's been a while since I've made a post from my metaphysical vantage point of the world as it is shaped with the help of one man and his music. I feel like I'm doing something almost sacred in my efforts to raise awareness of this master of harmonics here in my country. It's like we'd all be better with this music in our lives and souls. Maybe that's carried away, but then again I'm carried away, and I only wish everyone could feel this free passion, this escape from the gravity of the every day. How much more can the hand be extended? The entire world has climbed aboard and learned to fly. Why shouldn't we? Let me be the bridge.

10) Great hair disguises a multitude of sins.
9) If you play a synthesizer on the beach long enough, a horse will suddenly appear.
8) Create a hypnotic image for your album cover and it will follow you everywhere.
7) Sometimes there's just no escaping the 1970's.
6) Run the same few seconds of film over and over and maybe no one will notice.
5) If you've got good eyes, flaunt them.
4) Only a blessed few people can make synthesizing sexy.
3) Elevator shots always end up being interesting.
2) Synthesizer set ups can appear in any natural setting.
1) If you're going to hallucinate, do it to your own music.

America, Meet Jean-Michel Jarre
It's probably no surprise that Jean-Michel Jarre isn't exactly a household name in the United States. He's not controversial, he's not making a fool of himself in public, he doesn't have a reality show or a fashion line (even if many people think he must be a designer based on his name), and his music actually requires the listener to be still and have an experience. He's never released an "Unplugged" album (obviously). For me and my coterie of Jarre fans, these are all positive things. But we're the exception.
Being a United States citizen, I've taken a step back to look at musical artists and the whole industry, wondering how would Jarre fit into the aural matrix. First, I refuse to believe that there's not a clandestine population of would-be fans who have simply never been introduced to Jarre and his work. Heck, I have to think of how I myself was introduced. Basically, my father was and is a Francophile and a French teacher. As he was tapped into the European current, he learned about this amazing new release called "Oxygene" and that was the beginning. Jean-Michel Jarre has been the music of my family's life ever since.
They are here, and they don't know it yet. After all, it's not like electronic music isn't wildly popular. I keep bringing up the example of Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. Reznor has been commercially successful without compromising his art and is widely considered an electronic musical genius in his own right. All of this was capped by his Oscar win for Best Soundtrack for his work on "The Social Network". Yes, I am also a dyed-in-the-wool Trent Reznor admirer, but the point remains. Electronic music has a definite place on the American landscape.
As much as it pains me to admit it, looks and personality weigh in big time with American audiences. Fortunately, I think Jean-Michel Jarre has the whole package, whether he means to or not. In linguistics there is a class of accents called "plus accents", and for Americans a French accent is tops. Jarre goes one better with his clarity of expression and witty, personable style. I suspect he would easily fall into the American idea of "handsome". Like I said, it's awful that I need to even think along these lines, but it's the nature of the beast. On the other hand, if you've got it, flaunt it.
Finally, another thing to consider is the vast desert the music industry has become. This is the perfect time for the new--even if it's actually old. A new way of listening is like finding a new way of thinking, a new way of looking at the world. For us in the States, Jean-Michel Jarre is not only something different, but it's nourishing, the encouragement to maybe reach beyond the limits we've set for ourselves. I would applaud a Jarre renaissance in the States. We need it. Badly.

Crazy In A Good Way
This is a totally superficial post addressing Jean Michel Jarre as an enchanting and attractive man.
I've looked at the dates. Jean Michel was 23 when I was born, which makes him a contemporary of my parents.
Appreciating Jean Michel as a devastatingly sexy man is easy as long as I don't think about my parents.
Besides, 23 years older is way too old, right? It's a crazy fantasy.
And then I started checking out the dates on the women he's been linked to.
Charlotte Rampling is 2 years older than Jean Michel, so nothing earth-shattering.
But...Isabelle Adjani was born in 1960. So she's 11 years older than me and 12 years younger than Jean Michel. In other words, he's not adverse to fishing in a younger pond.
And this is the kicker. Jean Michel has been linked to the irritatingly beautiful Marie Drucker. She was born in 1974 and is therefore 3 years younger than me!
I'm not sure why this is funny to me, but I've been laughing pretty hard.

My Jarre Project--What Am I Up To?
After a few weeks of wondering and puzzling and trying to figure out what the hell I'm looking to do with all of this, I've decided to buckle down and share what's going on in my head. After all, getting other people interested is at the heart of this whole enterprise, and it's tough to raise interest without some clue as to how and why. So here we go.
1) Cultural Rehab for the United States
All right, now I'm aware that Jean-Michel Jarre isn't exactly stoked about performing in the States. And he's right--his music and stage shows aren't exactly what your average American is looking for as far as entertainment. What I've observed living in the United States is that relatively few people are ever exposed to Jarre, but those that get a taste quickly become devoted fans. Once people know him, they love him. So the question really is, "How do we introduce Jean-Michel Jarre to the widest possible audience?"
In the absence of a fan club type organization in the States (so far as I know) I'm stepping in to mobilize Jarre fans with the major objective of bringing at least one show to our shores. However improbable, the only way this goal is impossible is if no one bothers to try.
2) The "Jarrechives"
This one might prove a little easier. Essentially, I'm looking to gather all articles and other media about Jean-Michel Jarre into one online archive--or as I put it, "Jarrechive". Through these writings we all get a better feel for Jarre the person, not to mention his life has made for some very interesting reading. I've already begun by searching for online articles and bringing them together on my blog, but I'm inviting everyone to contribute. All languages are welcome (we can find willing translators). You can send links, texts, or other media to me at ejconroy778@gmail.com . All contributors will be included among the Jarrechive supporters as part of the project.
Personally I'm excited!
