Talk:Charles Trenet

Untitled
This just aired on closing credits of Simpsons, perhaps someone can throw this in.

Gay?
Anybody got a source on that, he's in the category but no mention in the text? Cheers Cdyson37 23:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

hi well, there are articles about it on the charles-trenet.net site, such as this: http://www.charles-trenet.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=46 (and when i can figure out how to create link here I guess i'll try to work it into the article!

Kurt, good job of working it into the article, except for the "It's only fair" bit at the beginning. If what went before necessitated that then it (what went before) should be made more neutral so that the article itself is not seen as making a judgment on the appropriateness of Trenet's choices here. --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 02:19, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Reading the article on Mistinguett, I came across mention of her involvement with Trenet, and came here to learn more; since 2007, not a single in-article mention or source has been provided about his personal life, save the categories to which this article belongs. Surely this can be remedied? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.206.4 (talk) 16:15, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

and?
My main thought about the article so far is that it has a lot of biogrphical data, but doesn't really say too much about his career, especially not his career in the 30s and 40s which would seem to be key. i added a couple graphs at the beginning trying to give an overview, which seemed to be missing. i'm afraid i don't know French enough to have read Trenet's novels, but it would be interesting if someone familiar with them could add some information about them.

Phallic theme?
I'd like to see the reference claiming phallic themes for "Y'a de la joie". I'm sceptical. Denis 03:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

pay no attention to english majors and feminists, they see dicks everywhere —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.151.105.166 (talk) 04:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 68.151105.166-- you made me smile. It is pure O.R. and I think I will chop it . Should his conviction for sex with two 17 year old males be mentioned ? The article reeks with unverified assertions. I think his songs composed during the war which constitute mild protest and a looking forward to France re-emerging from occupation should be mentioned? I will look at the French wiki -it may be richer. Any views ?--— ⦿⨦⨀Tumadoireacht Talk/Stalk 10:18, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I request do not include his conviction. To me that is unnecessary gossip. Many, many people have had some unfortunate incident(s) in their lives. Sometimes they get found out, sometimes not. I don;t see any value in digging up such things. I am not criticizing the idea, just expressing my opinion about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.146.244 (talk) 01:56, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
