I haven't seen or heard Ferry subjected to anything like this recently. For viewers, it's a year's worth of cringe-inducing horror in 6 minutes and you should, in some senses, be nothing but thankful that you haven't watched it. On the other hand, it's interesting to see what happens when Ferry is interviewed by someone so oblivious to regular social etiquette and to the rather painful signs of alarm and tacit disapproval emanating from her interviewee. It must be a relatively rare occurrence. Bryan has often seemed very good at getting people to avoid certain subjects and certain questions - it's just something in his manner making it clear that a breach would be unforgivable and treated as such. It's an admirable technique, entirely and hopelessly defeated by the personality of the 'top NZ designer'. 6 amazing minutes. In case it helps: I get a pretty steady 2.5 Mbps to this machine but had to force the RealOne browser plug-in to switch to the low-bandwidth, postage-stamp sized stream in this case. (Despite the 'win' in the URL, it works fine on a Mac using Safari.) ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2004 21:35:19 EST From: DEAGLERR@aol.com Subject: Re: [AVALON] it was the best of times, it was the worst of times OK, I give up. what does Ferry say? after 1/2 hour of multimedia masturbation it still won't play on my machine.
