Public ownership is the strangest thing. The feeling of knowing someone who doesn't know you. Their art, words, attitude, and beliefs can shape your world...and they aren't even aware that you exist. Francoise Hardy was so much more than a muse...but then again, isn't that kinda what muses are? They're so much that their energy spills over to inspire others.
It's very odd. Even when I spot the odd z-lister around town, my first thought is always 'where have I met them before?' and then I realise they're that geezer from the telly!

It sounds as though Françoise was far more talented than those who demoted her to 'muse'! Such depth.
Absolutely, she was a supremely talented singer-songwriter and I think many of her admirers were just riding on her coattails!
