A note about Bertrand Cantat.
He's the leader of French band Noir Désir (once shared the same producer as Girls Against Boys; appeared on videos with Jon Spencer Blues Explosio, t-shirt).
He bashed his girlfriend to death, one drunken night.
His girlfriend was an actress; he had came to visit her on the set of her next picture, directed by the actress's mother. He had quit his wife and kids.
He got an 8 years jail sentence that's been recently commuted. He spent 4 years and is now partially free.
A court decision now states that he's not allowed to talk, write, sing anything about what happened; he's not allowed to express his guilt. Would he have written a song called "sorry", I'm not sure. Still, considering how horrible the actress's mother became after the loss of her daughter, anything he writes will be scrutinized and twisted, his lyrics checked, double-checked.
The whole thing ain't pretty.
