I just don't get it. It's not so much the song as that there are a heck of a lot of better examples of Roxy at their best that don't get played. As an album Avalon made the band a lot of money and opened up previously closed markets. However, by many of the original fans didn't see it as a Roxy album or as what they wanted from the band at the time even if it did have really good production.

Any 'dislike' of the song is possibly due to its below-par performance in a live setting (which could also apply to other live tracks from that album due to the 'glossy' production and the original key they were sung in?) due to the impossibility of reproducing/capturing the original mood, even with Zanick. Whenever I've heard it always seems to fall flat.

I just don't get it." Because this list is populated by diverse factions, none of which seem to be able to bridge the gap. We try in frustration, pull hairs, drink, curse. The passion, the pain, the ecstasy and fantasy fuel our drive. But Avalonians just seem to come back for more. Love it or try to leave it, we obsess. Best described by The Eagles' Hotel California - "You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave." Oh, you mean the album "Avalon"! Just one of those things, I guess. Some like, some no like. We are siamese if you please - we are siamese if you don't please. Now we take a look 'round our new domicile - if we like we think we stay here for a while. :) Personally, I like Avalon - the album, and the list! And the legend....... Best wishes to all.

He's the creator as well as performer and very jealous of his reputation - that's why it takes him 8 years to make an album he's prepared to put his name to. He's also the almost ultimate professional artist. He obviously enjoys the adulation which requires he maintains the persona intact. Once the set is decided and rehearsed the actual stage performances are relatively short diversions from his round the world art gallery/scenic trips. The money's also quite good (but not according to him!).

Every time he plays Jealous guy I love it, not because I like the song that much but for the moment he start to whistle, You always get that fantastic reaction people are surprised and amazed. Do the strand and let's stick together is always partytime. Imagine that you can get that reaction. I can't imagine that bryan plays his records over and over again. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that most of the people on the list heard more Do the Strand, love is the drug etc in their life as Bryan. For example after the release of As Time goes by I played that album over 300 times in a half year. I can't imagine that if you've made those songs that it is a problem to play them lets say 50 times in three months.

He did stop playing Virginia Pain for many years (after 74 I think), he said in the press he was bored playing it. It re-surfaced for the Mamouna tour. Without doubt this years get-together was as much money as music orientated, as the price of the final shows demonstrated. K'CHING!

How about if--instead of asking for explanations, or explaining--we all just ignore this and just pretend it was yet another errant private email that has made its way onto the list? Tensions and emotions are running high enough already for many of us in our lives outside Avalon, and I would prefer to come here as a refuge from reality and not find a mailbox full of political rantings, all of which is, I might add, completely off-topic. Can't we all respect the list--and each other--enough to stick closer to its intended topic? There are plenty of other venues in which to expose one's views of current events.

I was plugging in addresses for a "bcc" group list where sometimes provocative quotes are exchanged and apparently I typed AV instead of AB and Outlook filled in the rest.... I guess I should just take AVALON out of the address book . I am not a very good typist... sorry. > > How about if--instead of asking for explanations, or explaining--we all > just ignore this and just pretend it was yet another errant private email > that has made its way onto the list?

Make sure that the reply button is always set at reply to one person and not at all or several. 2. Always use copy, cut and paste when writing e-mail addresses. Then check what address you have in the header before sending it. 3. Edit your address book from time to time. 4. If you take an e-mail address from a letter that was sent to a mailing list, and wish to reply only to that person, open a new message and then copy, cut and paste the address, 5. Use filters. I use Eudora (free at www.eudora.com) which has a very good filter function, but I understand that it works for other e-mail software as well. I can filter away all suspected virusinfected attachments on my Macintosh. 5. Remember that everything you write can easily be resent and resent ad infinitive. 6. Another tip. In Eudora one can easily through a mouse click or two mark the parts of a letter one want to reply to and then press shift-alt-apple R. Then only that part of the letter appears in the letter you are about to write. I would not be surprised if this works for other software as well. No criticism intended, just a few helpful suggestions that I have learnt through a five year-life on the internet.
