...passions unleashed eventually spilled out of Reims' convention center and into town. Heading back to the city center as speeches wound down Saturday evening, one feisty PS dowager took an entire municipal bus to task. She harangued puzzled passengers about "this Socialist circus where everyone is so busy attacking everyone else that we leave the right in peace," before herself having a go at "the morons who back Royal instead of someone capable of advancing a real leftist program for once!" "I like Royal, and I'm not a moron," resisted a small, snowy-headed man who had also attended...

All were slightly ridiculous (hip-hop, world music, supergroup--the hubristic rock star's triple crown) but well received, yet none can quite prepare you for Albarn's latest: Journey to the West, a "circus opera" based on a Ming-dynasty novel, with lyrics in Mandarin by Chinese actor Chen Shi-zheng. The protagonist is the wildly self-confident Monkey, who irritates his peers with his certainty that he is far more gifted than they are and deserving of immortal acclaim. He doesn...
