Do you admire his music? 4)Do you see any bands aroud today that remind you of the early R.M.? 5)How much does the recent lack of commercial success bother you? 6)What's the biggest mistake you ever made as a musician? 7)Do you think you'd be able to write Virginia Plain today assuming you hadn't in 1972? 8)A number of people have covered your songs. Which is your favourite cover and which is the most slanderous? 9)You appeared at Harry Smith's tribute concert. Is he an inspiration to you? 10)Are you in contact with Paul Thompson? 11)You have a lot of old fashioned tastes. Do you feel you've fallen behind the times? 12)Without copping out, who was the best bass player ever to appear on a Roxy Music record? 13)The original version of "The Numberer" contained lyrics. What were they? 14)Where was the last ever Roxy concert held? 15)Why did you release the Dumbbells Christmas hit? 16)You made an updated version of Mother of Pearl during the Horoscope sessions. How was it performed, did Eno work on it and will it ever see the light of day? 17)You have a lot of unreleased material in the cupboard. Is it not good enough to release? 18)The accoustic version of "The Only Face" sounds very fresh. Would you ever consider releasing an album of originals in this format? 19)You have some fantastic instrumental pieces on albums and flip sides. Would you ever consider making an instrumental album? 20)You said in 1993 that your voice only had about a 10 year life span left. Do you still believe that you have just over 3 years left in the business? 21)Is the 10 second blank space near the end of In Every Dream Home A Heartache just being different for the sake of being different? 22)Why were none of the Roxy members available to be interviewed for Paul Stumps new Roxy bio? 23)Your career has tread a very similar path to David Bowie. Some people disregard early Roxy as a crowd of Bowie clones. This is obviously untrue but do you think that Bowie has ever copied you in any way? 24)Do you take yourself too seriously? 25)Who is the most expensive session player you have ever hired? 26)Did you have a fall out last year with Virgin? 27)You persuaded your publicist Simon Puxley to write "The Bryan Ferry Story" in 1976 under the name Rex Balfour. Did he have any hang ups about doing this? 28)What's the strangest encounter you've ever had with a fan? 29) You worked with Robert Fripp one time (on Nocturne). How did that work out? 30)Did you really do "IT" with a horse? Did you know that Mike Nelson IS you? What contemporary artists do you like to listen to? Whom would you like to work with? Do you feel that there is still a market for the greatest hits albums with which you feel compelled to come out every 1.5 years? People have alluded to Mamouna as a commercial failure (although well rcved critically), but on the basis of the last fifteen years, one doesn't see much evidence that you care for commercial success: two albums of original work, one cover album, and about ten greatest hits compilations. Is the personal experimentation which your later albums display more important than commercial success? You never show up anymore on the top 100 richest rock star lists. How much are you really worth? (just kidding) Here's a question I have, perhaps more for the list than for The Maestro himself: How many copies have Roxy's albums sold? How many copies have Ferry's soloalbums sold? (oops, that's two questions) We keep reading that The Bride... and Mamouna were commercial failures, but how many copies did they sell? I've never read this anywhere. - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 15:06:52 -0800 (PST) From: thesonics@earthlink.net (Jay Siekierski) Subject: [AVALON] NEW BF CD IS GREEEEEEEAAAATTTTTTT!

It seems that Bryan's message to men in the UK - media men, in particular - had become quite clear by 1973. "Treat me as your leader," said his marketing machine. "I will show you what's good and bad. Look and listen carefully to learn what to wear and how to wear it; how to talk, how to walk, what films to watch, what music to listen to, which poets to read, whom to like and dislike, and what to aspire to. What little I don't know yet, I will learn - faster and more thoroughly than you could ever *dream* of doing - and pass on to you in part, long before the non-believers and the Bowie fans are onto it. I was born understanding poetry, fashion, jazz, attitude, art, love, marketing, despair, romance and style - It will be in my songs,in images of me and by me, in casual references I make, interviews I grant. Study them all and perhaps it might help you compensate for your own pitiful shortcomings." And so it was, with a short break in '77/'78, right up until '87, perhaps longer. Now, it's as if the machine that continually resent this message has been unplugged or dismantled, or sold for spares and repair (without the instruction manual, perhaps) to Beck. And many men are lost and some are angry. Their leader now talks about hunting and has had his hair cut short. He plays tennis with a silly British Prime Minister (all Prime Ministers are silly), records music with Dave Stewart and astonishingly, he writes songs with a man from Squeeze. This just wasn't part of the deal, was it? There was a manifesto, albeit tacit (even after those sly '79 hints) used to obtain enormous amounts of funding. And now this... It's sadly comical that this latest record - unlike Mamouna and Taxi - is easy enough and has a wide enough appeal that it could have been a big hit in the UK, had it been marketed differently. (It seems we disagree on this, Colleen.) I'm amazed by the way people who listen to As Time Goes By love it, become enchanted with it. These people aren't Ferry fans and would never think of buying a Ferry album. (They all know who Bryan is but, as others have pointed out, Bryan Ferry really is a household name here on Blair Island, known by almost everyone and patronised by almost no one.) Non-believers aren't hearing it in any large numbders, so will never get to like it and, as you say, Bryan seemingly can't be bothered with clever and innovative marketing ideas right now. Trying and failing is always harder than not really trying at all. That, or perhaps a desire for a quiet life, might be the reason for the lack of push and Ferry, not his record company, is surely behind it. I'm all for it. Trying and failing commercially is tough at 30; at 54, enough is enough. There may be another change of plan but till then, those who get it get it.

The NYC crowd was terribly rude at this concert. As Tim said, people were back and forth all throughout the show. What appalled me the most was during Bryan's break, when the orchestra did their solo piece, a good part of the audience took that to mean that it was intermission, let's go get a beer! Let's have a loud conversation! Other than that, and the guy sitting behind me muttering curses every time Bryan did a non-Roxy tune, I thought that the concert was wonderful. It was nice to see Ferry having a good time. At one point, someone yelled, "We missed you, Bryan!" He replied "I missed you as well!" As an aside, did anyone else have problems with their $12 Bryan Ferry mug? While washing mine the next morning, the handle fell off in my hand, and I watched as the rest of the mug shattered in the sink.

In the case of Ferry, truer words were never spoken. In town earlier this year to promote his latest album of '30s romantic standards, As Time Goes By, the 54-year-old Ferry came across as a kind of rumpled, beloved English professor. Last night on stage, however, the caterpillar had turned into a butterfly. Big time. Ferry, all hand gestures and expressive eyes as he crooned song after song with his mike stand set on angle, put to rest that long-held theory the British never show their emotions. On the contrary. The trembling-voiced singer made the most of Massey Hall's atmospherics with a backdrop of glittering stars, a disco ball, and low-key lighting while concentrating on material from As Time Goes By with lyrics on a music stand before him. The choice of songs didn't always work -- bigger applause definitely went to the Roxy Music classics Avalon and cover of John Lennon's Jealous Guy -- but Ferry's sophisticated stage presence, visual flair and sheer magnetism could probably make the phone book an interesting read. The other criticism was that he took his sweet time getting to the stage. It was only after a solid 15 minutes of solo performances by his large group of 13 touring musicians -- first a striking, blonde female harp player, then an all-blonde female string quartet who appeared to be wearing leather pants, and finally his eight-piece band -- all done up in black-tie -- that the man everyone had come to hear made his appearance. This was, after all, Ferry's first tour in five years. Dressed simply in a white shirt, black leather pants and black blazer, Ferry launched his two-hour show with The Way You Look Tonight and Love Me Or Leave Me -- both from As Time Goes By. But it wasn't until he pulled out his 1974 cover of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes that the audience finally warmed to his interpretive mood. Other highlights were the poignant and pretty Chance Meeting and Where Or When, The Only Face -- with Ferry on piano and backed only by the string quartet -- and the trio of cabaret numbers, You Do Something To Me, Falling In Love Again and Just One Of Those Things. - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 18:43:39 -0800 From: "Alison Brown" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Anyone for dentist? > A good example of British teeth > improved by dentistry is a look at David Bowie now, versus David Bowie, > even back in, I think, the 80's, his teeth looked in bad shape....but > they look good now.

I pleaded with him and he told out to be a nice guy. Well enough for now, but my 20 year quest to get close to Bryan finally happened and also for Kim. I'm so glad we met. It was due to this group.
