Jackson" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Ferry speaks on wife's adultery My high school girlfriend and I were together for a number of years before she suspected me of cheating on her, pulled a gun on me and emptied it at about 30 feet. I can still remember little pieces of wood and brick flying all around me as the bullets tore into the door and wall. I didn't see her after that day for about a decade and then on a trip back east I ran into her at a gas station one afternoon. I'd often wondered what my reaction would be to her if I ever saw her again, since we'd been pretty close up until she decided to kill me. Standing there looking at her I discovered that I had become indifferent to her over the years. I kind of imagine that the trail of misery and ruin that the end of our relationship fashioned had something to do with the way I ended up feeling. I have no way of knowing how Mr. Ferry feels, but I suspect that his own trail of misery and ruin would leave him feeling a little less infatuated with Ms. Hall than he had once been. For what it's worth, I left that filling station feeling a little sad. It occurred to me as I got back on the road that it had been a long time since I'd really been crazy over a girl. I spent the evening wondering if I could still relate to women without some sense of detachment. I frequently hear things in Ferry's music that resonate for me at that level. A sense of lost self and distance. I find myself wondering if the years wear on our ability to intimately relate until we're like an old piece of velcro that can't quite stick to anything anymore. - -Rob (back to lurking) On Saturday, March 22, 2003, at 11:52 PM, Daniel Atterbom wrote: > Let's see, I am younger then then Ferry, would I like to have my high > school girlfriend back?

Subject: [AVALON] Re: Ferry & Lucy's split Lots of Questions in this post that I would like to hear others feed-back on?------Someone said would you like an old girlfriend back? Even an old boyfriend for that matter!!! Depends I would say on the reason of the breakup.--I would love to see my old boyfriend again,even though we've gone our seperate ways.Our break-up was merely a stubborn issue on both our parts.That love never changed for us (we did speak once) after the break-up. Would we still like what we saw after all these yrs. have the same feelings? Maybe, maybe not. Could it be rekindled,& would we want it to?One doesn't know until that meeting? What once was when we were younger is altogether different now we're older. Some cases it happens,people pick up where they left off.Again it goes back to what were the issue's that brought the break-up? Ferry I don't think would ever go back to Jerry,-he doesn't like to be second man, he doesn't like betrayal, adultury of Lucy & the divorce gives you that answer.

Lucy (the nice English wife) is seduced by a woman on a cruise ship while dancing to Slave to Love. Only nobody commits suicide. Instead they run off together. Then, one evening Bryan is walking down the streets of London. On a narrow side street he meets a young aspiring dancer with a bad toothache. She invites him in to her modest flat and they soon become lovers. Now all that's left is for Katie to get a leading role in an opera. She will be awful, but nevertheless an excellent review will be published the next day in the Times. And the Times theatrical editor will have been fired.

Rob, I might give you some hope. I was 40 and had been single most of my life when I met and married my wife within a year. She even likes Bryan Ferry (she prefers the solo stuff, I prefer RM). We're happy and are there for each other through life's ups and downs. She is very understanding towards me now when my mother died. And wifey does not own a gun. The leathal weapons are canines. :-) But Marlana, I disagree, I would never get back with an ex. People break up for reasons and if you get back again after x number of years, one just wonders why did we waste them? NP DJ Sammy covering The boys of summer.

Subject: [AVALON] Re: Ferry & Lucy's split Daniel, that sounds like maturity on your part. Finding a compatible partner. But what if a love endured still all the yrs. you were apart?You just never acted on them. Do you still think you'd regret the yrs. you missed out on or savor all that you'd have for the rest of your life? You just said you married at 40 would you have not been sorry if you didn't experience it? Some people are very comfortable in a single status.But when a true love walks in the door one knows it.Marlana............................................. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2003 12:22:10 -0600 From: "Paula Brown" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Ferry speaks on wife's adultery "Reforming one's old band is like hanging out with your old girlfriend. One never hangs out with one's old girlfriend." David Byrne.< For the record, I still communicate and/or hang out to some small degree with all my semi-significant old flames. There were certainly decades between doing so in most cases. I think I have more in common with them than anyone I meet these days. The reasons I fell for them are still evident, though with age comes exaggeration of certain negative traits, certainly. For example, one who used to enjoy sparring and wrestling with me is now simply intolerably crabby about things such as how long I sit at a red light before I'll run it! That's no fun, is it? A couple of them have reformed old bands, as well.

Didn't he leave her first for Katy or is it now the other way around? Because it seems like he's the one every one now feels sorry for and now he comes out clean at the end. As much as I adore Bryan I think Lucy did have to put up a lot with him in his cocaine addiction and I thought it was implicated in one of those papers about their split, his indiscretions. Sure she got a lot of extra play being married to him as being a fashion icon that she proably wouldn't have if she wasn't married to him but she gave him four healthy kids and is seemed like a nice family life. And I'm not feeling too sorry for her because it seems like she'lll probably end up with another wealthy guy and not be alone. By the way wasn't she going out with some millionaire before she ended uo with this film director?

The truth is that we don't know what happened, and, more to the point, we never will since we will always be on the outside of this relationship. Hell, I was in a relationship where I adored him and he, me, and yet it fell apart, and I have no idea why. So it's extremely presumptuous to expect we can divine something about the Ferry's relationship. I'm absolutely amazed at the amount of time and thought people have put into posts tearing into one or other of the principals, assigning blame, etc., about something we know nothing about, really, except what is presented in a few newspaper articles, and, which in my opinion, is really none of our business.
