I wouldn't dream of buying a signed item, but have fond memories of >every time I have had single pieces of memorabilia signed for me >personally. With the greatest of respect, no, it isn't, and it rarely has been. I have Bry's squibble on a '94 backstage pass from the Atlanta show that year. An old friend -- the booking agent for the 40 Watt Club -- got it for me. That squibble is priceless to me, but it wasn't personal. I got Peter Davison -- the fifth Doctor Who -- to sign a program book at a con once. He agreed with a smile, but only if I would agree to let him throw me off the 16th floor balcony later that weekend. I compromised and gave him my autograph instead. That's priceless and personal. I have Boris Vallejo's autograph somewhere. If I ever find it, you can have it free... Autograph collecting has long been a beast all its own, and it doesn't concern me in the slightest. If there are people willing to spend $100 to get Bryan Ferry's autograph, then someone should quite rightly step in and provide one for that price. Now, I'm not willing to sell my backstage pass for ten times that amount, nor am I willing to spend $100 for another, but autograph collectors are definitely out there. If they feel like shelling out cash for some bit of tat just because some actor or musician scribbled on it, then let them! It's capitalism at its finest. The buyer wins because they get an autograph they want and the seller wins because they found a market. And if Bryan Ferry doesn't wish to sign anymore for whatever reason, or if penning that illegible line of his is really such a chore, he's not obliged to continue. Daniel's favorite artist, Jack Kirby, stopped signing in the mid-80s, but he and I had a wonderful conversation once in 1988 regardless. Of course, when Kirby stopped signing it drove the price of his autographed pieces up even further... But if Bryan Ferry didn't want his squiggle to be worth money to people, then I respectfully submit he shouldn't have been trying to make hit records.

I think the idea that Ferry chooses the people that he works with by their looks are way off track. If that were the case then Yanick Ettiene would never have appeared on the "Bete Noire" tour or on the latter dates of the current tour. As for Paul Thompson being the best drummer for any track that Ferry has recorded, if that is what you think that's up to you, I just think that it's just a bit too sweeping as a statement. I'd be very surprised if Paul Thompson was given "full-fledged" membership status with Roxy. Like it or not Roxy are a business that comprises of the assets in Ferry, Manzanera and Mackay. I don't know what the legal status of Paul Thompson leaving the business in 1980 comprised of, there may have been a buy out of his share in Roxy, I don't know. However as contacts for the recordings, merchandise, concerts etc. have been agreed with Roxy as F, M & M, I can't see how fully fledged status would come about for Thompson. It begs the question can you be a fully fledged member of a band without being a share holder as such of the company that is the band. Does that make sense? Note this does not say that I would not favour this having happened. I'm one of the people who were extremely sad when he left the band and thought that the older material suffered badly on the subsequent Roxy tours without him. What I think would have been a nice touch were to have him in some of the publicity shots for the tour, indeed a strong case for some shots of the entire Roxy 2001 ensemble could be made.

A dedicated company may have better focus. Although all three sites lack the graphical slickness of BF's web presence, manzanera.com, vivaroxymusic and roxyrama all benefit from the fact that the creators are sensitive to and interested in the content, and subsequently all three have vastly greater and more interesting content.

Thinking on a tattoo of something Roxy or Bryan to go with the Stones logo I already have. Of course it will be strategically placed away from the Stones logo, haven't decided on where. Anyway, any help would be great. Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 22:42:52 EDT From: KRNCHSE@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] One born every minute In a message dated 8/22/1 12:10:03 AM, you wrote: <> That's the way Auctions are Chris.I attend them (Estate /Country) on a weekly basis,and all too often you can see unrealistic prices achieved for consigned items.This is often due to people having huge egos,not doing research prior to bidding,and yes.....having more money than sense!

I received a newsletter from Jim Lawn and Bryan's Fan club in April of 97 that said his album with songs co-written by Dave Stewart would be out in a few months. Since Bryan re-emerged for ATGB publicity interviews he has said the album would be out in 2000. Then in the beginning of 01' then because of Roxy reunion it would be out in October after the Tour. Then around Christmas. Now in an Australian interview he says February of 2002. Has any one heard of the story of the boy who cried wolf ? Remember Lippy the Lion ? "I'll take a whole lot of lumps".

I once saw The Flying Lizards debut cd sell for about $70 and the description read "oop" (out of print). I bought it new for like $20 from AB-CD Music.
