Idk about the rest, but Satie was like 30+ years older than Poulenc, and died a few years after Poulenc's first composition.

I don't know if you can characterize them as friends. Satie's music definitely influenced Poulenc's, a lot.

Satie was broke as hell too, that part is true. Idk if being broke makes you a loser, but it might explain his choice of clothes.



As if being wealthy or wearing the right clothes makes you "not a loser". Suggesting that Satie was "a loser" says more about you than it does about Satie. I guess I prefer not to judge the person he was by the same measures you do.


I mean.... it wasn't me who said that. So, sure, but I think you are replying to the wrong person.
