"Ah yes, 1966,"
"When the seagulls follow the trawler / It's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea,"
"And the press called me the greatest philosopher / I think they were completely right."
Eric Cantona, at 59, projects theatrical charisma and self-assuredness on stage. He wears a flat cap, green corduroys and a high-neck sweater that evoke a careworn French fisherman. He spurns the offered water and opts for a glass of red wine. He recites and sings his gnomic lines with tuneful delivery, performing the sardine-and-seagulls aphorism and claiming the press’s label of ‘greatest philosopher.’ He references a past duet with Johnny Hallyday and uses wry humor and cultivated mystique to engage and entertain his audience.
