- <p> The French, goes the old song, they are a peculiar race.
- Culture Minister Jack Lang, who once said non to U.S. pop
- creations, has not only given in to rock 'n' roll but taken it
- under the government's wing. The French charge for le rock is
- Bruno Lion, 26, who also heads a Paris-based information center
- for pop music. Dubbed Monsieur Rock, Lion used to play the
- bass, but says, "It isn't what I consider myself best at." Nor
- does he aim "to impose French music at any price," though the
- beat may prove more and more to be un, deux, trois, quatre.
