I thought this sounded like a very interesting programme. Is Bryan a Radio 4 listener? 11.30 am - When The Muse Dries Up One per cent inspiration, 99 per cent perspiration - great works of art are the result of many influences coming together in perfect harmony. The idea of writers and composers merely channelling their muse's visions through pen and paper couldn't be further from the truth. John Florance investigates what happens when the balance goes awry and the artists suffers creative block. www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 SimonG ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 12:12:33 +0100 From: Pierre-Alain.Mertenat@rsr.ch Subject: [AVALON] Don't think twice... Each time Ferry covered a Dylan's song, he turned it to gold. As for "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall", Ferry's sacrilege cover caused a great shock among the US-counterculture icon's devotees. Gomina met patchouli. With Ferry's idiosyncratic treatment, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" could have been a Roxy tune: distant and outrageous prosodical excess for a decadent show-up. "It Ain't Me Baby" was a more prosaic cover yet with its moments. As for the new one, "Don't Think Twice" (It's Allright)", Ferry's rendition is far more than an "exercice de style": sincere and with a naked piano acc., it goes straight to the heart. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 11:38:30 -0000 From: "Gayle" Subject: [AVALON] Top 10 Sexy Old Men The UK magazine New Woman has a feature in their Celebrity section entitled "Top Ten Sexy Old Men".

Colleen I think you are being very under supported on your great SOTW strand (no pun intended) recently, so here I go. DO THE STRAND (the greatest single that never was, until 77?, when it was far too late, and what an appalling cover). Glam Rock was at it's peak, Bolan was on the wane, Bowie was to "retire" Ziggy & the Spiders soon, the moment was prime, all it would have taken was one FANTASTIC single to rule the world. Ferry had discovered his lyrical brilliance by FYP, I can't say that DTS is is his best lyric as the competition on the album was so strong, but I would venture that FYP was probably the best (lyrical) album of the year. We all know the fantastic references to everything who had been high fashion/art house faves in the previous 40 years contained within this high octane extraviganza. A pulseating driving beat, stylish vocal and wailing sax made this song a comercial cert. I love this song, studio/live (espicially segued with Editions of You, live '75 I think), the video is the grey suit with enormous lapels on TOGWT. It was a new sensation, a fabulous creation, a dancable solution and could have caused a teenage revolution. FABULOUSO!! Terry "O" NP: DTS PS: If you read this Bryan, as much as I love it I would rather see you sing your solo stuff at this years shows. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Mar 2002 08:58:02 -0500 From: Lyn Subject: [AVALON] Lucy Ferry Has anyone on the list met and chatted with Lucy?

The format is also such that you can I love my own dad dearly--he's extraordinarily kind and very funny--and since he's now on-line I could, I guess, subscribe him to Avalon where he could perform the same function. ;-) On a more serious note, I guess I think this same goal could be achieved without a father (or mother) figure on a mailing list. > follow a conversation all the way through and respond in kind.

That nastiness though isn't exactly lacking on the various bulletin boards you know (although I am speaking from admittedly limited experience there). But what it comes down to is the difference between messages you invite into your mailbox through a conscious effort (subscribing to a mailing list) and messages you go and seek out when you feel like it (bulletin boards). I do think mailing lists, because we chose to join them (and to leave them), have a distinct "feel" (and in my case, it's the electronic format I overwhelmingly prefer). > By the way, I would encourage all of you to check out both Paul and > Phil's sites if you haven't done so already (though they're both down at > the moment).

Twice (that I am aware of) my name was dragged into things on those sites (and I don't even read them). In one case, on Phil's board, someone forged a message from me, trying to make me look bad. That has never happened on the mailing list (and yeah, I'm still upset enough about it to steer clear of those places where people can be anonymous). I don't think bulletin boards (or USENET, for that matter) foster the same sense of community and familiarity that a mailing list does (although at least with USENET you can trace people by their headers).

Well, you never know what we plain Janes have up our (unadorned) sleeves.... Colleen p.s. I think she's actually quite beautiful. In addition she's quite sophisticated and stylish, with gorgeous clothes and impeccable taste, and I suspect that that is rather a selling point. Oh, and there's the matter of her being a heiress as well. Not to mention the fact that they've remained married quite a long time for a celebrity marriage and her appeal may lie in more than her clothes or hairstyle. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 14:18:15 -0000 From: "terrypaulrigz8c" Subject: [AVALON] Set Lists 2001 Competition Some of you are now in possesion of the hallowed sounds of Frantic, so let's have predictions for this years set lists, there should be a prize fund started for whoever predicts the songs performed at the first show.

However, 'Do the Strand' is a fantastic pop song with a catchy beat that (like LITD) makes me want to dance from the very first note. As I am totally hopeless at dancing this causes me considerable embarrassment at the concerts! The best performance I've seen was during the 2000 Bryan Ferry tour - I refer to the string quartet, of course! I've never been able to listen to this song in quite the same way since. As for the video - the 'Old Grey Whistle Test' appearance... Not very impressed, I'm afraid.

It was great wasn't it! I understand that reservation and I guess my experience of the tour didn't do anything to allay it (having seen what were acclaimed as the 2 worst shows of the tour on back-to-back evenings. Luckily the time before and after the shows was very well spent indeed with Avalon folks.). I thought the reworking of Ferry/Roxy songs on the ATGB tour by folks who weren't really familiar with them made me listen to them in a new way (well, except for "Jealous Guy." I don't think anyone can revive that one.). That being said, I LOVE the new album and by the time Mr. Ferry gets to DC I'll be happy to see him with whomever he drags along.

It has crossed my mind that maybe the line up I mentioned isn't very "rock un roll", with the exception of Sped and TGPT, and that a different band would be quite exciting. But considering Frantic mainly features the "Roxy Reunion Without Phil and Andy" bunch of musicians, it would make sense for them to be the touring band, and they're now used to old Grumpy Guts! Plus, no matter how un-rock and roll Colin Good is, there's no doubt that he is a master arranger and has really breathed some life into the shows most of us have seen in the past three years. Good god, I've just realised - Ferry will have been on tour in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002!!! What's going on? This isn't the Bryan Ferry we all know and criticize!

And Zev's done two tours of duty so I would imagine he'd be a favourite as well. Just guess work mind you, but it would cut down on rehearsal time. And I would love, just love, a bit of the IYM tour to drop right in there. I would think Frantic would be plugged to death with the toilet break coming during One Way Love (assuming of course, please God, Avalon and Jealous Guy don't make an appearance). And doubt very much whether there'd be anything from ATGB, it would seem fairly pointless from a marketing point of view. I would expect some sort of brass to be added (please not that stupid electronic play it with your mouth through the keyboards gadget as featured on the Boys and Girls tour) and a second guitar. Maybe Dave Stewart would make a guest appearance somewhere. Opening number? Whatever the single is, so my guess would be Baby Blue or Goddess of Love. (But then I lost my shirt on Virginia Plain being the opening number on the Roxy tour, so what do I know). If they open with One Way Love I'm going home.

I have the "Yellow Submarine" figures. I also have Bumble Abominable Snowman from the Island of Misfit Toys. They also have some nice Reservoir Dogs figures. An Eno action figure circa 1972 would be pretty cool.

I used to collect the Movie Maniacs line and had to pass on last year's set. (Toys take up too much darn space.) I should not have looked - the Monsters line looks so cool. Or, Mattel could make a BF/RM Barbie fan with concert date Ken (who looks hideous). They made a N'Sync Barbie fan. She's wearing a backstage pass, comes with a CD..... I bought it for a friend who hates N'Sync. Mattel has made some good-looking dolls - Audrey Hepburn (I have doubles so that I could keep a set for collecting and a set for playing), Elvis, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, Lucille Ball, etc. M ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A young New Yorker called M Was frequently seen with old men Described as fantastic She preferred lots of plastic Especially Barbie and Ken. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 17:05:47 -0000 From: "Fiske, Jocelyn" Subject: RE: [AVALON] Set Lists 2002 Competition >Look on the bright side: not only will it be out of the way early, but then you'll know how fashionably late you can be for the rest of the shows. But by then I'd have to fight my way through the likes of "Hopalong" Reecey, "I'll put your eye out with my ponytail" O'Donnell, "Is there a Pianist in the House" O'Brien, and "Far too Tall" Thomas. And in stilettos, that's no fun I can tell you. >When OWL is Ferry's biggest hit ever you wil all be singing a different tune. I won't. It'll only confirm it's utter shite bought by the same people who bought Avalon and Jealous Guy and don't know any other songs. In the immortal words of Mr Galloway- So there!
