Just would expect Bowie to evolve... not follow trends... I can't say he looks BAD, with all the make up he manages to look young, and he's not fat... it's just that you wish he'd take a cue (perhaps from Ferry?) and age a bit more gracefully? ;) Noam ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

This morning they reprised the "TV2000" show featuring Bryan Ferry giving an interview + performing "As Time Goes By". I had my VCR ready, so I taped it, and here is a transcription for you. It was a rather embarrassing affair (as you will see), but Mr. Ferry was charming and although at times he seemed a bit annoyed, he took it calmly with a healthy bit of humour. Here is the transcript: (I missed the introduction by program hostess Synnøve Svabøe) Several excerpts from Ferry / Roxy videos are shown (remake remodel, hard rain's gonna fall, jealous guy, kiss and tell, don't stop the dance, slave to love and avalon) SS: Mr. Bryan Ferry! I feel like... I feel like a princess aving you [as] guest here... BF (interrupts): Well, you look like a princess (...) you look fabulous. SS: No, but this is a little country - the land of snow, and you're in Oslo... BF: It's lovely to be back... yes it's great SS: It's good to have you here... BF: Thank you. SS: I bet that Jay Leno would have said: (tries to imitate J.L.) "It's good to have you here Bryan Ferry!" BF: (I think he says) Oh, great babe SS: How does one survive three decades.... (she doesn't complete the sentence) BF: With great difficulty (laughs) (audience applauds) BF: I do know what the secret is, really. I love to work, I like to make records, I love music, and... I think if you love what you do it sort of helps you to keep going, really... SS: You're called "Mr. Cool", "Mr. Playboy"... BF (interrupts): I'm not, really (laughs) SS: ... the symbol of good taste in Rock and Roll... (a lot of laughter everywhere) BF: I think I'm rather latin in temperament, really. SS: You have? Want to do a Tango? (At this point she stands up and invites Ferry to get up and do a small tango. He rises a bit reluctantly, seems a bit out of place, and says: "Where's the music"... and sits down and laughs. He is going to say something but is cut off by laughter from the audience...) BF: I come from Northern England, and people there tend to be a bit kind of emotional... and silly, really. SS: You have four children... BF: Four boys, yeah... SS: You have? Good quality there, eh??? BF (looks around, and then laughs out loud!): I suppose so (more laughter)... the eldest one is Otis, he is now 16. SS: Named up from Otis Redding? BF: Yeah SS: But how does it then feel to be a father of four sons, 54 years old and still called a... dandy playboy? BF (looks slightly annoyed): I suppose you then try to live two separate lives (laughs) I sort of most of the time... I'm actually working making music, but, I try and sort of do the other thing as well... you know... be available, when required (laughs...) SS: Tell us a little bit about.... tell us a little.... (can't find the words, begins to mumble (almost like Inspector Clouseau when imitaing Swedish) BF: (mumbles back and then nods and says almost empathically): ahh, yeah. SS: Pardon my England... (!) Tell us a bit.... (everybody laughs) BF (to the audience): Stop laughing up there!! (laughs) (to SS) You're doing fine... SS: I've attended courses as well, you know... BF: Of course... and the lyrics too... SS: We're going to hear "As Time Goes By" which is taken from the movie... BF & SS in unison: Casablanca. (SS then gets up and Bryan takes her hand) SS: Mr. Bryan Ferry, a kiss? He kisses her hand and says thank you. The interview is over and Bryan does a wonderful performance of ATGB. To all of those who have been talking about his new haircut, "he looks old, arrgh!!" etc... don't worry, he looks great. All the best, Oberon - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 15:21:48 +0100 From: "Garratt, Chris" Subject: [AVALON] Later From the NME site ...

Not to offend him, 'cause he's on my fav list among Ferry/Sylvian. And Maestro...still the most handsome popsinger.<--dot and I'm straight yes, no jokes please...

I > wonder if Detroit Rock City would count). Don't think so! Detroit Rock City was definitely at odds with the homosexuality part of Velvet Goldmine - they must have used the word faggot in every other sentence, kind of randomly, it seemed.... But there was a T-Rex song on the soundtrack. My sister had to whack me to keep me from singing along in the theatre.

He did Rebel Rebel and some new song I think. I thought he looked way better with short hair. Just my 2 cents; Noam Ditto. Yes the hair does look ratty. By the way, where was Reeves Gabriel?? Do you think Bowie was playing it safe by only doing one song from his new album ( which to me looked as though he did not enjoy the performance of-notice at the end how he crossed his throat as though he wanted to end it) and then doing a "known" song from the past? Rebel Rebel rocked but I wanted to hear something new. Oh yeah, who were those two women who did back up singing ( no not the great Gail Dorsey on bass)? Where they Bowie's "Sirens"? The blond sounded off-key.
