*takes a deep breath*

Count Antoine Jean-Baptiste Marie Roger de Saint-Exupéry

Saint-Exupéry: "but you can just call me andré... that's OK"

"Jean Mimi !!!!".

Yes, it is too long to say his whole name so we only say his first name, with some changes sometimes

Well, I don't know about other countries, but in Denmark at least, Mimi is a girl name. But Jean Mimi sounds cute, suitable name for a cute little mouse or something.

Maybe Anne calls him like that?

St Exupéry is not very religious my dear...

Then what's he about?

Wikipedia :
He was a French writer and aviator. One of his most famous works is Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince). He was born in Lyon.

In 1998, a fisherman found what was reported to be Saint-Exupéry's silver chain bracelet in the ocean to the east of the island of Riou, south of Marseille. At first it was thought a hoax, but it was later positively identified. It was engraved with the names of his wife and his publishers, Reynal & Hitchcock, and was hooked to a piece of fabric from his pilot's suit.

On April 7, 2004, investigators from the French Underwater Archaeological Department confirmed that the twisted wreckage of a Lockheed F-5 photo-reconnaissance aircraft (a version of the P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft), found on the seabed off the coast of Marseille in 2000 and extracted in October 2003, was Saint-Exupéry's. The discovery is akin to solving the mystery of where Amelia Earhart's plane went down in the Pacific Ocean in 1937. However, the cause of the crash remains a mystery. Today it is regarded as very improbable that Saint-Exupéry was shot down by a German pilot. The German aerial combat records of July 31, 1944 do not list any shooting down in the Mediterranean that day. Besides, the wreckage of Saint-Exupéry's F-5 did not show any traces of shooting or aerial combat. Therefore, it is regarded as most probable that the crash was caused by a technical failure. However, some people believe that Saint-Exupéry may have committed suicide, and a diver named Luc Vanrell (who found the crashed plane) is one of few in France inclined to voice publicly the theory that Saint-Exupery killed himself.


Very interesting things here

Cousteau : you can call him Saint Ex'


Andro : "Mimi" alone is a girlish name, but "Jean Mimi" is definately a man name, sounds cute and sweet
Can be a mouse name too, yeah, it should be cute

Oh, is it him! I have to read "Le petit prince" this year at school (in frensh).

You didn't know him ?

I forgot his name.

Oh now I know who it is... took him for someone else I guess...

...Paraskévie said on FR forum the new album will be released in the end of the year and will be dedicated to Saint Exupéry.....

The more I hear about this new album, the more interested I become.....

Saint Exupery is one of my favourite authors......there is so much more to his books than meets the eye...he meditates on what it is to be Human....about Life (...no...don't go to sleep.!! )....
My favourite quote comes from "The Little Prince"...( I think it is the one most people know... )
One sees clearly only with the Heart...
Anything essential is invisible to the Eyes...

If this rumour is true..... I think I am going to really like this album..

JMJs music in its composition has often had a somewhat "mystic" quality.
I had hoped that at some point he may produce a "spiritual" work ...
though different people have their own feelings of spirtuaity & ideas on.

Ho hum ...
