Rocky McKeon’s 'l’oeil du tigre'

Who is the mad genius on the Louisiana French blog who thought to make a Pac Man game featuring Cajun folklorist Barry Ancelet’s and his iconic mustache, set to the theme song from Rocky? Je ne sais pas. We can say that this is definitely not the work of Rocky McKeon of Houma, as we incorrectly reported last week. I have since updated the blog post, but the error did not go unnoticed. Louisiana French has admonished us for our reckless abandon of proper research and source checking (I thought the Rocky connection was rock solid). Rocky McKeon has also responded, with the following video performance of "Eye of the Tiger," en francais, dedicated to The Independent. Merci Rocky, you trade your passion for glory:

He doesn't "trade his passion for glory." Music and French seem to be his passion and that's what he's doing here. No glory involved. Only passion! Keep on rockin'! Louisiana needs more people like him!
