Most being one. John Wayne Gacey. However, there is something particularly scary about clowns I feel. But even scarier yet would be Wor Bry doing a cover version of Send in the Clowns on a Dale Winton show backed by miming clown performers. Hey, stranger things have happened.

I like Goddess of Love but the rest have a real late 80s feel I wish Ferry could recapture some of that raw creative talent He tated on JR show that now adays Bands all sounded the same and when Roxy started thay wanted to be a different sound I know the years march on but In the main since Avalon / Boys and Girls I dont think Ferry has createad anything that sounds that much different Nothing compares to songs like Out of The Blue, Both Ends Burning ,Tokyo Joe ,To turn you on.

It will never be exactly the same again, though one hopes we'll live to see another renaissance in music. ~That said, Frantic has, for me, been as heady and as soothing as a, well, sea breeze and brings me (fleeting, no doubt) peace as no other Roxy/Ferry album can ever fully do until the next new one. I love nearly all the cuts on the CD, and I've grown fonder of them with each listen. To have a new Ferry album to listen to which is, for the time, unchained to memories and associations is simply intoxicating. It will take its place among the classics, I believe, now that Bryan has put himself back in the mix. I hope it grows on you as well.
