RE: hey, rich- found the french lyric

I also believe that I've red somewhere that Townshend used to use eau de
cologne to dip his fingertips into when playing guitar as a) it anethitized
his fingers (cut to blazes 'coz of the windmilling), b) it toughned the
skin.

Hmm... 5:15 "eau de cologne'ing"

True, its a phrase that originates in French and might seem a little
odd to us Yanks, but its more common in the European English parlance
AFAIK.

If I have a song that uses the word rendez-vous, am I copping a
"French" lyric or merely using a phrase in the English language that
has a French origin?  I think its more the latter and 5:15 also falls
into that camp IMO.
