And like the songs' subjects, fans who once dreamed of escaping their parents, phys-ed teachers and "towns full of losers" worry about the kind of world they will be leaving their children...
Those who know the French say they will never abandon their lifestyle--they are partial to their wines, their designers and their inalienable right to a certain of level arrogance derived from their position as the leading experts on how to live the good life.
