- What were YOU listening to? I only found (now defunct) Frequence Gai
- to play anything near that eclectic. There is Radio Brussel, but once
- must drive north to receive it. The first time I heard it was enroute
- with a friend to Amsterdam; a very cute, scruffy boy of about 19 asked
- us for a ride to Brussels. We obliged and had a marvelous conversation
- in english, french, and dutch (I didn't understand the dutch bits, sadly).
- He smelled like he had been in his clothes for at least a week; his pale
- skin contrasted by patches of dark week-old stubble. Very intense eyes,
- and he wanted to talk about all kinds of sixties rock and literature
- icons. I was smitten... my friend remarked that I had drooled all over
- the top of my seat, which was false. All the drool was contained in
- my shorts.
-
- Perhaps it was what I ate: _never_ steak frites, dear. Always steak
- tartare (or steak Americaine, as they call it in Belgium) and hot,
- greasy frites. You can find it in that place with the menus outside,
- the men dressed in black and white...
