He also lectures at the London School of Economics. If Roxy do rejoin he would undoubtedly be called in to co-produce some tracks, perhaps co-write some with BF, and assist with "treatment" - very much in the way he did with Mamouna. I thought these quotes from the Mamouna tour brochure might be of interest to anyone who didn't see it: "It was very nostalgic, seeing Eno, an emotional experience really. I felt that he hadn't changed at all, and I hope the same with me. It really felt very much as if it was yesterday that we worked together - so twenty years just disappeared in a flash which was quite extraordinary. I'd never really experienced that before" "All three of them (Andy, Phil, Brian) actually played on "Wildcat Days" - that's the nearest you could get to a RM reunion at the moment! People often have asked me if I'd like to reform the group and having been away from it for such a long time it does intrigue me as well. Whether it will happen in the near future I'm not sure because I have next year's album [quote from 1994] pretty much sorted out in my head. But anything could change and I've given up predicting what I'm going to do in the future" In some interview BF said his voice would last until about age 60 - that's only seven years, and this being the case in the best scenario we will be lucky to see another two albums out of him then whatever happens. I mentioned the recent events to someone the other day and she asked me a very pertinent question: why might a RM reunion be any more successful than further BF material? If BF material is not massively successful now why should a very similar thing produce different results? Neither will be popular with the teenage/Smash Hits/TOTP market in any case. Food for thought...

Question Two: Even if Eno would rejoin to play, why not have him AND Eddie? Eddie on keyboards and, of course, violin, with Eno on Treatments. Question Three: Did anyone see an SNL rerun the other day featuring Jerry Hall? I only saw her in one sketch with Randy Quaid portraying stupid poor white trash. She did a pretty good job, I thought.

If BF material is not massively successful now why should a very similar thing produce different results? The simply answer is, it might be stimulating and be unlike the current stuff BF has been peddling. Should he be open to contributions from the other members, it's obvious it could head in a very different direction than he has been lately (which, IMHO, is NOWHERE). This can't be any worse than Mamouna, and has the potential to be much better. And, interest-wise, RM might have a higher profile - - None of the former beatles could get a hit record to save their lives, but hype up a recording that includes JL, and voila! Three #1 albums. I'm not saying the same thing will happen, but an RM reunion will certainly be as exciting press-wise as The Eagles or Fleetwood Mac. And would it be so bad if they did a concert via VH1 like FM did that got them loads of attention? I won't complain if they finally get some overdue recognition.... fabtrick _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

There's an interview with Todd Haynes, the director of VELVET GOLDMINE, in the Fall issue of FILMMAKER magazine. In the interview he says that Roxy Music's first album is his "favorite album, period". A great interview that's worth checking out!
