Please Louie Reed, can we kill this crap already, no one has responded it, and can we dispense with the "clever" signatures and focus on the titled intent of this list? When you leave this...tangent up for so long, it tells me two things. 1.You threw up this list and don't really follow it enough to realize no one is riffing off this "signature." 2. You threw up this list and don't really realize that people adore it (this list) for the access to connect with others around the world with a common interest, and not the "digressions" of these signatures etc. It has become like SPAM, like commercials, and like interferance and detraction. > "I've got enough attitude to kill everyone in New Jersey." I mean really, I can't imagine this being an attitude or stance anyone in Roxy would take. VU, Lou Reed, maybe, but this tag line has lost whatever entertainment factor it had, if any. It has become an irritant at this point. I am not interested in reading/hearing anyone's interest in "killing" anyone or anything on a Roxy Music list, even in gest, irony, or outrageousness. Roxy was never some overstated drag queen band aiming to shock with staged outrageousness. ...It is a punk sentiment at best, and doesn't fit here imho. If you are not interested in fitting in with the sentiments of the folk inhabiting the list you started, then turn it over to someone who really loves Roxy and Ferry and really wants to reflect the aesthetic and philosophy of same. Someone who will excise the chaff (this bs tag, and the crap you tried to encourage with that female nimrod that you facilated in attacking me incessantly and nonsensically). Y'kow, Ferry commented rather sardonically and ironically on this kind of play negative attitude in "Sign of the Times." I hardly think his aesthetic and philosophy would cotton to floggin this lame tagline of "I've got enough attitude to kill everyone in New Jersey." Flouting any qoute about "killing" anyone, is offensive, imo. Bravado, attidude, BIG DEAL, anyone, ANDREW DICE CLAY, flaunting this sentence is offensive. At least the Sex Pistols said "I wanna Destroy" passersby, and you could infer that it meant conceptually, psychologically, visually, through visuals etc. Kill? Tasteless, and has no place here. Time to move on, already. IT isn't funny, nor does it even anywhere near fit in with the topic of this list. Sorry for the bandwidth and sure the list lord will want to excise and ban me for this, but a message suggesting "killing" anyone, even in an 'over the top gest,' is not in place here, and is offensive in my opinion. ....When you listen to interviews with Bryan Ferry, he strikes you not as an intellectual alone, not as an artistic distant eltitist, but as a gentle soul. To be sure. And this tag just irritates me every time it pollutes my eyes.
