      Qui voudrait former un quasi-quinquagénaire? Il s’était bien dégoté un stage dans une salle de concert en banlieue, un autre dans une salle de cinéma art et essai — mais à part sortir un peu, se tenir au courant des problèmes de RER et rencontrer du monde, tout cela lui procurait avant tout une pénible impression de gâchis.
