Stellar
BC: Like to introduce to you, Monsieur (French pronunciation) Jimmy Chamberlin. From Lyon. Lyon’s own. Thank you very much. Welcome to our concert, thank you. It’s always a pleasure to play the most beautiful city in the world. Of course, you have your, uh, Louvres, your Eiffel Towers, your Pompidous. But of course what makes this city so lovely is the beautiful Parisian women. You make me ashamed to be American, I wish I was French. This song is for the lovely women of Paris. (starts playing and quickly stops) ‘Cause you are perfect.

I Don’t Mind
BC: Well, that’s the end of the concert, thank you! Thank you, that was the end of the concert. Did you have a good time over there? Alright. Did you have a good time over there? Alright. Of course you had a good time! Good night, heh heh heh. Sayonara. Bon soir. ... (Jeff is noodling) Wanna play some blues, Jeff? (guitar doodle) You’re just like Gary Moore.
Jeff: Any of you guys like Gary Moore?
BC: They know Gary Moore! Gary Moore is huge in France.
Jeff: Oh.
BC: Jeff, do you know Johnny Hallyday?
Jeff: Love him, love him.
BC: Boo. Johnny Hallyday! (crowd boos) Legend, Johnny Hallyday, legend.
Jeff: J’detest Johnny Hallyday.
BC: Jimi Hendrix’s.... (crowd cheers in response to Jeff) Did you know, did you know that Jimi Hendrix’s first gig with the Experience was at the Olympia Theatre, opening for Johnny Hallyday. Johnny Hallyday, legend. You’re only booing because you’re his illegitimate children. He has like 10,000 children in France. He is man. Legend, man. Anyway, god bless you, thank you very much for a great concert, thank you. I used to say, way back in the '90s, that the Paris audience was very cold, not very friendly. (crowd boos) But Johnny Hallyday, heh heh heh, he told me the secret. He told me the secret and now you love me. Thank you, Johnny Hallyday! Thank you, good night, thank you.
