Koffi says he chose Sarkozy because of Sarko's style--blunt and showy--and because Koffi was once a resident of Neuilly-sur-Seine, where Sarko was mayor and made headlines carrying out those kids from the hostage situation. You already knew this probably but other readers might not have. I think there was a JA interview with Koffi that addressed this. He still keeps his other monikers, doesn't he? The handles to his home in Mont Fleury are still in the shape of "MM," signifying mopao mokonzi. -JoshUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802783439329090585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-29383923258213695462009-10-18T08:22:26.100-07:002009-10-18T08:22:26.100-07:00And there a great compilation of Franco's work...And there a great compilation of Franco's work coming out this week on Sterns records - Francophonic volume 2 (1980-1989).
