As for wondering why Katie loves him,if he was half as good looking and 10 times poorer,he would still have much more to offer than a perfect body to any girl.JL.

I've transcribed it below: Sunday Mail January 12, 2003 ROXY STAR EDGES OUT SUGABABES Bryan Ferry - rock's king of cool - will raise the curtain at Scotland's hippest new music venue. I can exclusively reveal the Roxy Music superstar will play the first gig at the new Glasgow Academy onMarch 27. Tickets priced 27.50 are on sale now. The singer will play tracks from his latest hit solo album Frantic, plus Roxy classics such as Virginia Plain and Do the Strand. He'll pip Sugababes by just 24 hours for the accolade of playing the 2500-capacity Academy's first concert. Ferry said: "I have such great memories of playing the legendary Glasgow Apollo. "It's always a pleasure to play in Scotland. The Scots were among the first to take Roxy to their hearts." I can also confirm Ferry will headline shows at Dundee Caird Hall on March 28 and Aberdeen Music Hall the following night. In 2001, he reformed Roxy Music for a sell-out world tour which included a memorable show at the SECC in Glasgow. Last year, he enjoyed amazing solo success with Frantic, which featured Radiohead, Eurythmics' star Dave Steward and his former Roxy bandmate Brian Eno. "I wanted Frantic to be a rock record with a mix of my songs and interpretations of classics such as Goodnight Irene by Leadbelly and One Way Love by Cliff Bennett. "My previous album, As Time Goes By, was songs from the 1930s but it was time to do something with more of a contemporary edge." On Frantic, Ferry pays homage to his music hero Bob Dylan by covering It's All Over Now Baby Blue and Don't Think Twice It's Alright. Ferry also kicked off his first solo album These Foolish Things in 1973 with a stunning version of Dylan's A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall. What is it about the US superstar he admires so much? "Dylan's lyrics are so fantastic to sing," said Bryan, "He's such a great writer and master of language. "I don't have any reservations about covering what many fans would regard as sacred songs. "I hope he's happy with how I've covered his songs because I've always treated his music with total respect." ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon Avalonians on tour 2002: http://helios.unive.it/~tcecilia/meetup.html US ticket sale info: http://www.thewebgal.com/roxymusic/ (updated weekly) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 20:31:23 +0000 From: Subject: Re: [AVALON] ticket prices > From: kevin > Date: Sun 12/Jan/2003 20:19 GMT > To: > Subject: [AVALON] ticket prices > > after seeing all the latest dates for the coming tour , i went to book tickets and found out the ticket prices? what a con . guildford civic is 34.50 for one ticket . and ticket prices in london over 40.00 pounds. into todays people paper ferry was the second most expensive pop star next to the stones? when is ferry going to relise that people will star to stay at home ? same set .same amont of time on stage. but before you lot complain .... my 5 year old daughter is going to see the ballet the nutcracker and those tickets are cheaper than ferrys.... ferrys turning into a sad old man after every penny he can get..... > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon > Avalonians on tour 2002: http://helios.unive.it/~tcecilia/meetup.html > US ticket sale info: http://www.thewebgal.com/roxymusic/ (updated weekly) > > > __________________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime - Go online whenever you want for just #6.99 a month for your first 3 months, that's HALF PRICE!
