I always assumed that Massif Central was just a kind of fantasy song about packing it in and moving to the French Mountains, but then I noticed that there is a kind of wine called Chateauneuf de Pape, which translates to "New Castle of the Pope" (New House of the Pop) that is French and from a region close to the Massif Central. I was wondering if anyone knew if that is where he was when he wrote the album.

I don't think so. I believe he's lived in Boston, LA, and now Eugene,Oregon. He writes about the french mountains like he has lived their huh.

the man played zillion shows in France, he doesn't have to live there to make songs like that. But he could have been on a holiday there!

Not really.
Massif central is, as its name tells, in the center of the country whereas Chateauneuf du Pape is located south east (north of Marseille). |

| Hi olirockcity. He has suggested currently taking up residence in Luxembourg, but that is likely to be a bit of fun. Unless he's there on a little holiday? He's certainly said he'd like to move to France, maybe when the kids are a bit older! |

In an interview he says he was considering a move to France but then met his wife and went to live in Oregon instead.
