I hope so. Personally, I hope that the gaucho costume is resurrected for the video. That ought to get people's attention. OK, let me add to my original question. Some folks on the nameless list also seem to think it is declasse to be invited to participate in this endeavor. These reservations are based on feelings that the project itself is tacky and that being included with such popular (and therefore morally and artistically suspect) artists as the Spice Girls is the first step down the road to ruin. Are these people nuts or do some of y'all harbor the same deep dark fears?

Bryan has never been elistist, and has never disguised the fact that he wants and likes commerical success. Bryan is one of examples of combining artistic integraty with commercial success. He has shown that there does not have to be a conflict between the two. I for one am pleased that Bryan is recording on ch a project, and his choice of Shakespeare's Sonnet intrigues me. I cant wait to hear it. I dont see whats tacky about a tribute to Diana. She was a person who was adored by millions, did alot of charity work which helped alot of good causes, and was a personal acquaitance of Bryan, so I think it entirely appropriate that he should be on such an album. Did anyone really think he was cashing in on JLs death when he did Jealous Guy? I remember even a reviewer who didnt like the interpretation saying he didnt question RMs sincerety. > > > > -------------------- > To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: > unsubscribe avalon > - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Nov 1997 14:56:03 -0500 From: Andy Cooper Subject: [AVALON] that other tribute album Does anybody know anything firm on the B5 records release date yet?
