Why do we hate the french again?

Reminds me of the man from Rizes:

There once was a man from Rizes
Whose balls were of different sizes
One ball was so small
It was no ball at all
But the other won several prizes

There are a lot of jazz festivals in France. French are found of Jazz, especially middle and high social classes. I don't know if it's less or more important than in USA.
It's a tradition in France since 1920/30 when US jazz musicians (Ellington, Bechet, Armstrong (not Neil, neither Lance but Louis) were playing in Paris (Saint Germain).

I don't know who is Donny Osmond ?
David Hasselhoff : clean white smile, K2000, Alerte à Malibu (Malibu beach). I can't stand him, I prefer Pamela Anderson.
Jerry Lewis is nearly unknown for French who were born after the 70's.

I thought Hasselhoff was popular in Germany, not France.

BTW, just saw him in a cameo in "Dodgeball" on HBO, verbally castigating the German team for losing. Very funny movie.
