Belgian Beers And Women

Now if you leave out the impossibly rare Wesvleteren 12, then in my view the best beer in the world bar is Leffe Brun.

Belgium is, of course, these days the center of global grand politics, and we'd best leave it at that.

Where all this came from I have absolutely no idea at all because the Belgian people are simply not like those you would tend to associate with Christine Lagarde and Jean-Claude Juncker and any of that toxic, poisonous coterie of European Union globalist characters.

Belgian people are highly educated, that is, they grade very much higher than average of the OECD countries.

I don't think they are very good self-promoters though, but admittedly, they lie in the midst of a range of excellent self-promoters - Germany, Holland, France. Maybe they just gave up at some stage and retired into their beer houses...

A wise move, I consider.

Here's a music video clip from a Dutch duo of DJ's and music producers. The song was a really big international hit and forever and a day people around the whole world assumed the model in the music video was 'just' a model who was mouthing the words.

Charlotte Bruyn

She wrote or at least co-wrote the song lyrics, and sang the song that you are hearing. But no one is credited virtually on any of the produced versions and it's one of those things that happens - or happened - especially in the peak phase of the live 'dance/trance DJ' show era.

Now in a couple of days or so Hans Zimmer will come out with bits and pieces from his latest commission - the sound track for the new Bond flick. Hans is a German from Frankfurt; but we won't hold that against him. 

It really takes some doing though, to capture energy and style in these creative efforts and sometimes,you need the cast, the personalities, the story-line, to make it all work together, to give something human and real to the production. Well, I guess we'll see what transpires.

But I don't think it is going to be 'Belgian fried chicken and Belgian waffles with black pepper maple syrup and vanilla cream butter,' with Leffe Brun on the side.
