I have different plans for Mr Ferry. I have no intention or desire to pander to his proclivity for the finer things in life. I live in New Orleans and it's nearly Carnival time so I have costumes, excess and debauchery on my mind. So, I'm thinking in terms of a theme costume party. I'd ask Bryan and the rest of my guests to dress as their favorite movie/TV cowboy. I see Bryan as singing cowboy Gene Autry. Me? I'd dress up as Lash LaRue. My hero and role model; at least among B-movie cowpokes who couldn't act a lick. But give ole Lash a whip and watch out. Crack. I see Jimmy as Rooster Cogburn: John Wayne gone to seed with a huge belly and an eye patch to complete the ensemble. Now for the menu. None of that fancy schmancy stuff for a party where men are cowboys and women not only wear chaps but look like chaps. But no cowboy fare either instead we'll have a classic Southern Louisiana crawfish boil; heavy on the cayenne and spicy enough to peel the roof off your mouth. If Bryan wants to drink his beloved pricey French plonk, he'll have to bring his own. We'll be drinking a fine local beer, Abita Turbo Dog. A beer with bite and bark. Arf. Snarl. Howl. Now for the music. Nothing but the best and it's gotta be a live band. I'm sure Bryan could groove to the beat of the Funky Meters. I bet Art Neville would even let Bryan sing a few tunes with them *if* his costume is good enough. The clean up crew would be led by Jimmy Vapid..uh..Vapor and Leather Marie Propes.

Under the sound management of Colleen Matan.... Now that's a party! The only problem is, everyone would be feeling so rough afterwards that the only gracious thing to do is to make arrangements for the following day. We'll put everybody up in the Windsor Court hotel (one of the world's finest) to sleep things off. Then the next morning we'll head en masse to the Cafe du Monde coffee stand for plenty of hot chicory and coffee and beignets -- just the thing to chase away a hangover. From there we'll board the Creole Queen steamship for a leisurely river cruise on the Mississippi and we'll return to port and walk to Emeril's restaurant for a late lunch. From there we'll have cocktails in a French Quarter courtyard and then bid everyone adieu. Later!

Matan has announced a "mega-world-tour" featuring onstage "every musician that ever played with Roxy Music or Bryan, even the dead ones" and she promises it will include "all sorts of spectacular special guests" such as Eno and Ferry duetting on 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," Dennis Rodman doing an interpretive dance to 'Ladytron,' and a grand finale, 'Pull Up to the Bumper,' a tribute to the late Grace Jones, featuring Madonna, members of Oasis, and the the Spice Girls. Ferry's new lp of retro-rap, 'Chillin' at the Rave,' is produced by Puff Daddy, and the first video from the single--a daring cover of the Bobby Goldsboro chestnut, 'Little Things'--will be directed by Quentin Tarantino. The tour is sponsored, of course, by Phytofix Hairspray. "Bryan is very excited to be coming back to America--we don't think the cane will be a problem," says Matan. "Hopefully this will cap off the resurgence of interest that began with 'Velvet Goldmine.'" >> Had to laugh out loud. Good one.

One typo and suddenly I'm being scrubbed down by James Cagney and all of the cowhands in Lousiana, Arkansas, and god knows where else. Here is the original quote, as INTENDED in my original contest entry [Jimmy should enjoy the de[re]construction of the original text]: "Best of all, I would be completely relaxed as we [Bryan and I, for all you post-modern bracket lovers] sat and sipped our Cognac, because I would know that all the while Jimmy was in the kitchen cleaning up and doing the dishes." Perhaps the original message contained a Freudian slip, but I doubt it. Instead I prefer to see it as a typo. As for Mr. Vapor, might he be projecting his own lurid fantasies into my text to the degree of forsaking all context? How could Mr. Ferry and I both be sitting in the living room sipping Cognac and being hosed down in the kitchen? "The security with which the commentary considers the self-identity of the text, the confidence with which it carves out its contour, goes hand in hand with the tranquil assurance that leaps over the text toward its presumed content, in the direction of the pure signified." - -Jacques Derrida - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 21:35:19 -0500 From: John Fohrman Subject: Re: [AVALON] Supposedly, Bowie bashing and the "50" photograph << After the line "I would do anything for you" BF's lyric was "I would climb mountains" but Bowie changed it to "I would come all day."

My Fellow Avalonians, Due to the firestorm of political pressure I am under, I now reinstate Colleen Matan as a contestant in Contest #38. But let me say this here and now to the people of Avalonia--AT NO TIME did I suggest that I have BATHED with Mr. Ferry and Ms. Propes. I merely quoted a rather unrestrained contest entry in which Ms. Propes stated she would be "completely relaxed" "because I would know that all the while Jimmy was in the kitchen cleaning us." I think the context speaks for itself in these remarks. I thank you for your consideration in these matters, Ciao, J, PAPTI (not affiliated with Pepsi in any way) PS. Ms. Propes, could you please return the dress, the hatpin, and the copy of 'Leaves of Grass'? And please dry-clean the dress, would you, baby? - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V3 #27 *************************** ======================================================================== Please send any questions or comments about the list to avalon-digest-owner@smoe.org
