Jean-François Bizot est un homme de presse, de littérature, de radio et de cinéma français né en 1944.
En mai 1970, Jean-François Bizot lance le magazine Actuel, premier organe de "Free Press" à la française avec Michel-Antoine Burnier, Patrick Rambaud, Bernard Kouchner, Jean-Pierre Lentin notamment. Cela lui permettra de découvrir tout un vivier de talents tels que Philippe Vandel, Jamel Debbouze, Édouard Baer ou encore Ariel Wizman. Il se passionnera bien avant l'heure pour toutes les cultures alternatives, de l'écologie post-Beatnik au hip-hop ou à la génération techno.
Il sera ensuite co-fondateur de Radio Nova en 1981, de Nova Mag et de TSF, la radio jazz.

Underground : L'Histoire (2001) [1]
"Some have stated in our written histories that Spartacus or Jesus may have been the first to define the Underground. Or Socrates drinking his mix of the poisonous hemlock, François Villon inaugurating the zazou spirit of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Galileo, Benvenuto Cellini, Giordano Bruno, each threatened by or ending up at the stakes for opening new horizons to an ancient world.
A whole range of revolutionaries we will pass the review. Closer to us is Fyodor Dostoevsky and his Notes from the Underground. Or the green hair of Baudelaire, or the fulgurating irritations of Rimbaud, the grinding teeth of Lautréamont and the voluptuousness of Huysmans, René Crevel. We arrive at the 20th century, hos has invented this term underground?. A young preson challenges you: "A label? A brand, a sticker, a badge, a pin? In short, you were already wired in your time." Youngsters always have the right to await you like a cretin with the turning, since we were all young. One answers him: to be wired, to connect, here what was and which will remain the true underground." Are you a hipster? -- very freely translated from Jean-François Bizot's introduction to this book
