I was inspired by some of the comments about the Frantic pix. This spoof is more mean-spirited so you have been warned. M "To get back my youth, I would do anything in the world, except exercise, get up early, or be respectable. Youth! There is nothing like it." -- Lord Henry, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde Old Fart Bryan By M England - Despite his guarded attempts, it has not gone unnoticed that singer Bryan Ferry uses youth-enhancing techniques that supposedly erase years and years from his haggard aging face and pounds from his expanding figure. Our investigation has uncovered his secrets. The management at Virgin Records is under contract to use photos of Mr. Ferry taken in his pre-historic days for any promotional materials and album covers. An insider informed us that they have the "Wrinkle Factor," an equation used for the picture selection process. "I can't tell you anything more about it as it is top secret. However, I can also tell you that Photoshop is one of Bryan's best friends." (Photo http://www.vivaroxymusic.com/largeimages/franticfront.jpg Caption: Not taken recently, that's for sure) The lighting for his upcoming tour to promote his new album Frantic has been designed to blind the audience through the entire show by shining bright lights into their eyes, a technique used by other old fogeys, like the Pet Shop Boys. "It's brilliant," raved fellow aging singer Neil Tennant, "especially since there are many hot virile men in the audience lusting after what they think I look like." "What the fans don't see is all the medical equipment kept handy backstage," confided a former tour manager for Mr. Ferry. "We were always worried that he would collapse during a performance. You have to admit that he's no spring chicken." (Photo http://www.sdmuseums.org/assets/images/chestpump.jpg Caption: Part of Mr. Ferry's tour equipment) "I've given him Botox injections," revealed a plastic surgeon, who requested that his name be withheld. "If he isn't expressive enough during an interview, now you know why. I wish I could get my needle into Simon Le Bon. Although in his case, he would need a miracle." "Bryan refuses to acknowledge that his waistline has gotten wider over the years and gives me his trouser measurements from twenty years ago," sighed "Ms. Smith," a top designer at one of the major fashion houses. "I go along with the charade and just make his trousers larger. There's no point in telling him because it falls on deaf ears. A-hem." Executives at Clairol Inc. have noted that sales of their men's hair dye skyrocket at certain times that coincide with Mr. Ferry's album promotions and tours. "He prefers Natural Instincts for Men, Darkest Brown, #222. He has also helped us to write tips for the men's hair coloring section at the website." "He certainly gets an 'A' for effort," concluded Mr. J. Turner, a renowned stylist to Hollywood celebrities. "It would help if he trimmed his eyebrows. He's looking like J.R.R. Tolkein." (Photo http://www.fortunecity.com/athena/emerald/236/jrrt3pics.jpg Caption: Mr. Ferry's eyebrow twin) "I've told Bryan that there is no such thing as a Dorian Gray painting," stated "Mr. X," one of Mr. Ferry's art dealers. "But he insists that I keep looking for one. He should face the truth. We all get old." ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Jun 2002 09:03:09 -0400 From: "Grant Goggans" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Bryan On Radio 2 >Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2002 16:06:26 EDT >From: OBrienFerry@AOL.COM >Subject: [AVALON] Bryan On Radio 2 > >Bryan Ferry's show from Belfast was a one hour set. > >The stereo broadcast sounded good and no doubt will make the rounds as a CD >tree.

BRYAN FERRY "Frantic" (Virgin, three and a half stars) For 30 years, Bryan Ferry has been the essence of cool, beginning with the art-damaged rock of "Roxy Music and continuing through 1982's suave "Avalon and "Slave to Love in 2000. "Frantic is a compendium of what Ferry does best, from pulsing, urbane originals to imaginative covers of Bob Dylan, Leadbelly and others. Although "Frantic features sharp guitar work by British legend Chris Spedding (and a cameo by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood), the title applies more to the singer's desperate longing. As good as the originals are (the Brian Eno collaboration "I Thought" is great), "Frantic's covers are even better. "Goodnight Irene" receives a sparse, Cajun-spiced reading; "It's All Over, Baby Blue" has a deliciously campy edge; and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" is brilliantly understated. Ferry's still cool after all these years. _Steve Klinge - -- Linda D.

"Frantic," Ferry's first regular solo album in eight years (1999's "As Time Goes By" was a collection of pop standards) finds the voice of Roxy Music in fine form. The CD's original tunes (some co-written with Roxy Music partner Brian Eno or Eurythmic Dave Stewart) are rich, sometimes lush and haunting, and refreshingly tuneful. Longtime collaborator Chris Spedding offers tasty guitar licks throughout. Songs like "Nobody Loves Me," "Fool for Love," "Goddess of Love," "Cruel" and "I Thought" rank with Ferry's best. But the covers are the make-or-break wild cards and Ferry impresses. The suave crooner has covered Bob Dylan before but not nearly as well as he does here. His upbeat take on Dylan's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue," with its blend of swirling strings and biting electric guitars, is, arguably, more appealing than the original. Ditto the arrangement for "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" which benefits greatly from Ferry's slightly weathered voice, weeping harmonica, and the rolling acoustic piano arpeggios. His Cajun-flavored reinvention of the ancient "Goodnight Irene" is an even more drastic reinvention. All in all, a strong return to form. - -- Linda D.

Just my opinion..but... Roxy to me were Bryan, Andy, Phil and Paul T. Without Bryan there is definitely no Roxy, but then again he isn't Roxy Music. He is definitely the main man. I would say that the sound of Roxy Music is "fuller" and more "complete" than Bryans solo stuff. As far as Chris Spedding and Paul Thompson giving the tour a well deserved kick in the ass, I'd say that would be true for Paul Thompson, but (in my opinion) not necessarily for Chris Spedding. I'm basing this simply on the Roxy shows I saw last year, where Chris Spedding was fine, but, out of the two, it seemed to me that Paul Thompson really drove it along.

I agree with Aleks on all counts. Without Bryan Ferry, there is no Roxy Music. As much as I love Paul, there was a Roxy Music, albeit a weaker one, without him, and probably could be without Phil and Andy as well. I don't think there could be Roxy without Bryan. That doesn't mean, however, that Ferry IS Roxy, only that he's the most indispensable part. I also agree about Spedding and Paul on the Ferry tour. With Paul, this has got to be the greatest Ferry tour since 1977 (though living in America, I may never know), but I really didn't think Spedding added much to the Roxy tour at all, much as I was looking forward to seeing him. I think he only proved how Phil is THE guitarist for Roxy Music. Same with Andy Newmark. He's a fine drummer, but he's not Paul.

Hi David. I don't think Bowie ever lost touch in the 90's or 80's He produced on weak album "Tonight" but apart form that I think all of his work in the past two decades have been of a high standard, Roxy produced two poor albums in the 80's but that was the fault of the band rather than Ferry. I can never understand it when people discuss the weaker Roxy albums the way people always tend to put the blame on Ferry, but when discussing the better works of Roxy, People never give him the credit. its always "Down to the band" for the good work, and "Down to Ferry" for the poor work.

On a similar thread, when is Ferry not Ferry? We have the strange situation on this tour that we have a Roxy track which is essentially an Andy MacKay track. On this tour it's almost a cover band has came on for 4 minutes. I think this is the first time a Roxy/Ferry track has been played at a Roxy/Ferry show without any of the musicians on the original recording performing it. I don't think Tara is working this tour for several reasons. It worked on the Roxy tour because there was a certain affection from the fans for Andy MacKay, it was a surprise and done in a new way, the surprise element has gone. The musicians were physically closer which helped the focus of attention for the crowd and also helped the conversational style ad-lib between the musicians with a greater intimacy. I think it feels awkward this tour. The three shows I have seen this tour have all been outdoor and the piece was played while it was still daylight, maybe that has added to it not having the same affect as the Roxy tour. If Ferry needed to rest his voice every so often he could do something like Love Me Madly Again with its long instrumental passage. which would lend itself to Lucy's violin playing.
