About Montpellier

Fun fact—did ya know Linklater didn’t even script half that movie? Just let the actors live it, like Tammy lives her nights! Ain’t that wild? I’m sittin’ there watchin’, screamin’ at the screen, “Give that kid a break!”—and I’m thinkin’ of Tammy too! She’s got stories—once told me ‘bout this john who paid her in nickels, 200 damn nickels! I laughed my ass off, then got pissed—200 nickels ain’t a livin’ wage! Billionaires got private jets, she’s countin’ coins! Gimme a break!

John Lee Hooker Jr. & Zakiya Hooker- Avignon Blues Festival

Zakya Hooker au 14ème Avignon Blues Festival le 7 octobre

Avignon isn’t just big names and fancy landmarks though. Check out the lesser-known gems: like that tiny café in the Carré d’Or that serves the best espresso ever – you won't find it in any guidebook. Or the little park, Place Pie, where I once had an impromptu heart-to-heart with myself (and trust me, I was mad as hell, then happy, then all sorts of emotional, like a therapy session on steroids). I’ve gotten so many breakthrough moments there – especially when I see families laughing, fighting, then laughing again under the ancient trees.
