Serge Gaisbourg bought "La Marseillaise"

Serge Gainsbourg recorded in 1978, in Jamaica, a reggae version of the French national anthem "La Marseillaise". This song earned him death threats in France and a very critical article by the writer and member of the French Academy Michel Droit, to which Gaibsbourg responded with another article titled "On n'a pas le con d'être aussi Droit". Shortly afterwards, Gainsbourg bought the original manuscript of "La Marseillaise" at an auction at Versailles.
