I'm acquainted with a (very good) New York based actor who started out his career with a long run on this show, and even to raise the matter is to get your face chewed off. But the fact that Ferry may have had some money in some company that wanted to squeeze a bit of money out of it doesn't make him a fan. it's highly unlikely, I think. To start with, he's the wrong generation. He was 18 before the thing even began. And though the 'very English' quality might I suppose very vaguely appeal to him, I doubt he's ever given it any thought.

It has just crossed my mind what a peculiar remark this actually is. I doubt any one who contributes to a discussion list about, for God's sake, Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music could ever be a 'culturally elitist snob.' After all, Ferry is a POP STAR! But perhaps I should make clear that, to my mind, thuough I don't care one way or the other about DR WHO or cheap Science Fiction generally, compared to the moronic tat that makes up modern mainstream American culture, it is a masterpiece of quirky inventiveness, integrity, passion, intellectual insight, and all-around spiffiness.

Hello, all! Just back from a business trip, catching up on e-mails...when I discovered that I had set off a massive arguement on the Richard Thompson List. We had been discussing the way different artists approach new projects, and I wrote (I thought) a harmless little note suggesting that Mr Thompson try Our Man Bryan's approach, and do a covers album , while the Cool Ruler might try MR Thompson's approach, playing 'live in the studio' with close freinds for less than a week. Well, the Thompson folk HATED this idea. Of the 800 e-mails waiting for me when I got home, over 100 were about what a bad idea this was. They have some very interesting views of Our Man over there: some think he is a lounge singer, others a pop artist (in the Andy Warhol sense). Only the most sophisticated two or three appreciated him as a Rock Star. Just thought I'd share...

It probably depends on his drug habits. I'm told it all appears rather wonderful when you're out of your mind. And Antony Price, screaming queen that he is, is an ideal candidate for throwing himself on the sofa in a haze on an early saturday afternoon and floating through the show. But I wouldn't expect either of them to watch it sober. But then I assume very few 'Whovians' (horrible, horrible word!) are completely compus mentis while viewing.

Yes, I think to many "prog rock" fans there must have been something suspicious about Roxy, because they emphasized both the poular and the artistic aspects of their music. One of my favourite Ferry quotes is when he stated that to him, the implied honesty of self-presenation in 60's rock music would always remain alien. Though it'd be a shame if the "prog crowd" rejected Roxy, as what you write is true, Ivor - the first three Roxy albums are likely to appeal to Crimso fans as well for example. I mean, I am also into Fripp and King Crimson, Hammill and VdGG &c. and if you listen to say, some of the softer PH songs, it's not a world alien to Ferry fans. In my mind, at least. I'm off to see Hammill in Hamburg tomorrow, and I wonder if there'll be anybody in that crowd who listens to Ferry as well, except for poor Christian, who hardly ever gets replies to his way-too-long postings on this stylish King Arthur-given list and probably deserves it (what a mean super-ego, dz).

Oh GOD! Is there ANYWHERE on the internet that that bloody TV series doesn't get!

I think Eno may have had a Saturday job there...) Please, PLEASE tell me that BF doesn't like Dr Who! I may have to alter my entire system of beliefs. I've only just got over his faith in astrology... Chris Well THIS American LOVED the show, cheesy sets et. al. It was 100 times better than what was being shown on network TV here. It's was witty, intelligent, and distinctly British. I add it to the list of my favorite exported shows which included Rock Follies, Monty Python, and Masterpiece Theatre (with the superb I, Claudius). I still don't get why my Dutch friends watch Jerry Springer? Maybe it's something in the translation.

I don't know if the show is sown in Britain, but guests have included the three surviving Beatles Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr -- McCartney and his late wife Linda introduced Lisa to vegetarianism when he met them at Apu's rooftop garden -- and bands Aerosmith, Cypress Hill, B-52s, NRBQ, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, Spinal Tap, Ramones, Smashing Pumpkins and U2's Bono, Adam Clayton and The Edge. Elton John, Sting, Johnny Cash, Peter Frampton, Tom Jones, Cyndi Lauper, Bette Midler, Sting, Barry White and Hank Williams Jr. have also loaned their vocals in cameo roles. Willie Nelson guests on the 11th season finale. - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 8:34 PM Subject: Re: [AVALON] Ferry Has Acted (I do believe) > Imagine Ferry in Pulp Fiction or The Usual Suspects.
