Whether you consider Paul Thompson non-intellectual, or not attractive enough for Roxy - for my money Paul made the show. Thank God we weren't subjected to the "Heart Stopped Beating" line-up. Paul is also the only one who took time out to meet his fans. When I tried to take a picture of Ferry, some 98 pound woman stuck her hand up and told me to stop, so I didn't even bother approaching Ferry again. For what it's worth. Paul's happy with the situation. He said politics and music don't mix. I'm just glad I got to see him with Roxy again. Who would have dreamed this would happen?

Whitney Houston, Wet Wet Wet, Madonna, Wham, Culture Club, Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Scritti Polliti, Michael Jackson, Five Star etc. That was the awful 80s music. The bands you've mentioned from the early 90s were good but unfortunately it died away then all these boy/girl bands reared their ugly head. I saw what was in the UK top 10 singles chart recently and the only decent song was Crystal by New Order. The rest of the songs were by these girl/boy bands, crappy dance music and rap which gets on my nerves. Alan SIMON GALLOWAY wrote: > > >From: "A.L.

I was a frequent contributor to Ferry message board. I don't go there much anymore. I kind of used it to vent my spleen in the early days of the reunion announcement. A lot of folks were not happy when we saw the three of them grinning, while Paul had to find out about the reunion on his own forum. I was somewhat apprehensive to approach Bryan Ferry or Phil Manzanera backstage for the fear that they might recall my name from the constant bombardment of requests for Paul Thompson at the Fez and Manzo forums. It was a daily campaign and I'm sure it annoyed Ferry, Manzanera and BM. But, Paul did say our requests were taken seriously.

Scritti Polliti awful??!!! Listen again young man, they were fab and Green has often said Roxy were a huge influence on them. I commissioned some music for a commercial in the early '80's - the brief was to make it Scritti Polittiesque, and we ended up with a session singer in to do his best Green impersonation. And who was that man? None other than Mr Snips lead singer with The Sharks and one time support to Roxy Music. He couldn't believe I knew him in his previous incarnation and proceed to tell me bugger all about his days on the RM road because he and Speddo "were so wasted we can't remember any of it".

It's something that everyone can join in with. I'm fairly new to this list and good conversation is always welcome !
