Place 3 quarters in the slot for a French Tickler Prophylactic.
Wherever Serge saw a pot, he would stir it, whether it was satirizing the military or French patriotism, showing up with a model in a see-through top or even something as taboo as incest--he wrote and performed Lemon Incest with his 12-year-old daughter Charlotte ! Way over the line, but that's exactly where Serge wanted to be, God bless him.

Yay, see-through shirts!
Boo, glamorization of incest (and lemons)!
His necrophilia-themed 1976track "Ouvrir un Froid" (or "Crack Open a Cold One"), performed with his recently-deceased Grandmother, was less successful.
Andrew, I laughed out loud at your comment and then stopped and thought, "wait a minute, did he?" Hardly worse than the incest duet.
Ha ha ha!
Incidentally, the see-through shirt chick is Jane Birkin, the inspiration for Melody Nelson and Gainsbourg's eventual wife.
I stayed at a hotel in paris a few years ago, on a quiet, otherwise-tidy back street in the left bank, and couldn;t understand why, in the middle of the block, one house was covered in graffiti. Photo here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2279/2185087361_5ee4a4bde6.jpg
Turns out it was Serge's house, and the graffiti were tributes left after he died.
By the way, what is Gene Hackman doing in the picture (besides staring and JB's torso, of course)?
