What I’m most interested in is those moments in musical history when artistry meets commercial appeal: the Beatles, naturally, Queen, my absolute favorite, Kendrick Lamar, more recently… and now Rosalía.

Standing with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters in this critical moment, hoping our European leaders do something to stand on the right side of history.

#Ukraine

This new « Peace deal » between Russia and Ukraine, crafted by the US without Ukraine even being involved, is a criminally warped attempt at resolving an issue in the easiest way possible — by giving the strongest party virtually everything they want, no matter how unfair and how unlawful that is.

While it is easy to get submerged in negative news, some days still shine brighter than others: New York has a new mayor and he’s 34, Muslim, foreign born, a socialist (!) — and he actually loves music…

It can sometimes feel like bad news keep piling up with no end in sight.

But there always is an end: Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist (by US standards), a foreign-born Muslim — and a 34-year old newlywed became mayor of New York City last night…

Today marks the second anniversary of the October 7th tragedy. A tragedy that triggered many more, but a tragedy nonetheless. No good ever comes from killing, violence or destruction. Let us start following the better angels of our nature again.

Serious matter — Georges-Henri Betbeze “This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this”: this is one of many quotable moments from last night’s monologue as deliv...

When democracy is under threat, look no further than comedians to see the signs. Thank you Jimmy Kimmel for somewhat unwittingly proving that yet again...

That it is now incumbent on late night comedians to explain the sitting US President what the Constitution he is meant to uphold actually means is all you need to know about the current administration.

YouTube video by Pod Save America BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel PULLED OFF AIR After Trump Administration Pressure

On Jan. 22 2002, I was interning in Moscow.

One of the popular TV channels was TV-6. That day, the screen went dark. The Kremlin pulled the plug in one of Putin’s first censorship acts.

What is happening in the US is similar. Trump may not be Putin — yet, but this is bad enough...

Tensions — Georges-Henri Betbeze There are many things going on in the world right now that point to the fact tensions are rising. However, we should very much try to remain cool headed. Otherwise, they win.

For a while now, the dilemma between trying to keep a positive outlook and handling negative facts and events has been on our minds, at least mine. This is very much the case today.

This is 44 — Georges-Henri Betbeze The year is 2025 and I am still blogging. To be more accurate, with (way) less intensity than before; which is kinda what I’m trying to fix right now: I may not be the next Hemingway (I don’t drink — ...

The year is 2025 and I am still blogging. I may not be the next Hemingway (I don’t drink — anymore — anyway) but at least I can do this… Right?

Took me a week to realize I was drinking caffeine-free coffee. Luckily, I make it up with #ClubMate.

Sophia wrote a new song being riden around on the back of her sister’s stroller on a sunny Berlin morning: « Why is my life so hard? »

Last week, my first born finished her first year of school — ever. She was super excited about the fact that she got to play with her friends till the end, that Friday night was movie night… and of course that school was ending.

- Do you know what today is, Sophia?
- No…
- Bastille day!
- What is that?
- It is the anniversary of the day Parisians took over Bastille prison and freed all of the King’s prisoners, paving the way for the French Revolution.
- Does it mean I’ll get chocolate milk?

43: my left ankle is hurting and I don't even know why.
Will I live to see 44?
#agegracefully

On the phone:
- Sophia, I can’t find your camera.
- It’s on the cupboard next to my wand.
- I see your wand but not your camera…
- If you can’t find the camera, you can get the wand instead…

This weekend marked the 20th anniversary of my graduating from #HEC.
I used to have conflicting feelings about those things.
These days, I'm way more relaxed about it: meeting friends I had not seen for years simply reminded me that it's nice to talk to interesting people...
#AlmaMater #Anniversary

- What did you like about today Sophia?
- Lunch.
- What didn’t you like about today?
