Pop stars, don't ya just love > 'em? Ha, ha, our Bry - ever the other-worldly, isn't he? But it's a pity since Bill Nelson is a great guitarist which Ferry should ask to play on a future solo album. If BN had mentioned Be-Bop Deluxe, maybe BF might have remembered. BN has produced some really good solo albums, amongst them 'Quit Dreaming & Get on the Beam' - still a classic. In the mid-90s, he even picked up drum 'n bass rhythms...

Times had an article on a Playboy Bunny reunion taking place this weekend in Las Vegas. Here are a couple of interesting paragraphs [Shel Silverstein???]: Don't confuse these bunnies with the playmates who posed in Playboy magazine in their "birthday suits" (as it was innocently dubbed back then). Some playmates were bunnies but not all bunnies were playmates. The bunnies were glamorized waitresses ? sort of super-stewardess, only on the ground. They balanced hefty trays while wearing 3-inch heels and confining corset costumes accented by the collars, cuffs, bunny ears and tails that came to symbolize Playboy, and modern female sexuality. Through the years, the clubs attracted the likes of the Beatles, Woody Allen, the Rolling Stones, Shel Silverstein and Warren Beatty. Like female Forrest Gumps, the bunnies navigated through modern American cultural and social history ? Vietnam, the pill, the psychedelic age, women's lib and more. "I met [the band] Roxy Music," says Katherine Dolgy Ludwig, a Toronto-based painter who worked in the London club in the '70s. She also recalls members of the band the Stranglers persuading her to slam dance for the first time. Working as a bunny has colored Ludwig's creative vision. Some of her pieces are on display outside the reunion at an exhibition called "Some Girls Next Door" -- they're colorful paintings that center on sybaritic nude women. "It's about that coming-of-age time for women," she says, recalling her own innocence at 18 when she joined Playboy on a dare. - -- Heather - -------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 18:39:22 -0700 From: "Stirling" Subject: [AVALON] Bryan & Roxy on SACD Sampler Sunflower Elusive disc is selling an SACD sampler that includes Nobody Loves Me = and Avalon.
