durée : 00:58:20 - " Ballad of the Sad Young Men " (Thomas J. Wolf Jr. / Frances Landesman) (1958) - par : Laurent Valero -  "Archétype de la chanson triste que l’on adore écouter elle évoque la désillusion propre aux beatniks. Des gens brillants mais assez nihilistes qui s’autodétruisent le soir dans les bars en refaisant le monde. Le titre fait référence à un recueil de nouvelles de Scott Fitzgerald..." Laurent Valero  - réalisé par : Vivian Lecuivre
