What an odd programme, but very interesting as Ferry's usual 'barrier' is occasionally broken down, in normal conversation. I think Bryan found Dieter a bit too much at times ! If you're not much of a Dieter fan, the first 20 minutes are a bit of a trial, as Bryan is reduced to the occasional 'um's and 'ah's whilst Dieter spouts forth about life, the universe and everything, but after this initial period it all settles down a bit and Bryan is featured more heavily. 95% of the time though, the old BF guard doesn't drop, as ever. I think Bryan is very aware of the camera throughout, and I'm surprised he agreed to do the programme. Quite fascinating.

My wonderful, loyal young friend Glenn is dead. I just found out. Glenn joined Avalon in April 2002.

I sit in a wheelchair after I broke my neck in 1998. I live with my Mum, her boyfriend and my brother (we also have a dog). Discovered Roxy/Ferry in: 1999, after I had been to his concert in Oslo Concert House. Favourite Roxy-albums: Stranded, Manifesto and Country Life. Favourite Roxy-songs: Avalon, Same Old Scene, Do The Strand and Both Ends Burning. Favourite Ferry-albums: Frantic, Mamouna and Let's Stick Together. Favourite Ferry-songs: Cruel, Nobody Loves Me, Which Way To Turn, Casanova and Let's Stick Together. Shows: Bryan Ferry in 1999 (the ATGB-tour) and hopefully the tour this year. - --------- Glenn and I became very close friends, even if I'm old enough to bee his grandma! All because of our mutual love of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music! We became soul mates. Exchanged hundreds of emails. We called it 'Daily Mail'. When he for a long time didn't have internet connection, we wrote snailmails. He told me he had never been depressed even if he broke his neck when diving at 14! He loved life,..was so wise. Said he had so much to be thankful for, being alive! He was so proud last year, when he got his own apartment! Managed to do everything himself, sitting in his wheelchair, with a minimum of help. Even his hands where crippled, but he got a job in a library. His joy had no limit when a year ago, in June, he could drive his own car! He was the nicest and most optimistic guy I have ever met. Oh yes, we met in Langesund. My daughter took a picture of us, it's on vivaroxymusic/Fan pictures Frantic tour, Kari and Lenn (his name was spelled wrong there). Glenn had many interests, and many friends. He was very caring, always comforting me when I was ill. Sent me a candle and a candlestick for Christmas. Last May, when he at last was able to get online again, he was so happy he could join Avalon once again. His last mail to me is from 4 June. As I never got any answer after three mails, I knew that something was very wrong and was worried, thinking of him every day. I found out the terrible fact today, but I don't know what really happened. Hope I will know one day. This is hard. Wonder if he had a car accident. It is so sad..how can it be true that he is gone, not even 20 years old? It was an honour to be your friend Glenn Andri Svendsen...

It does remind me of the "Rock from the North" programme made in 1999 or so, to promote ATGB. [I think that's why he is doing these programmes, promotion. Though a good reason for doing things is, if you _like_ doing them. And perhaps because they pay good... Have a look at: http://www.mandarinoriental.com/hotel/507000041.asp and http://www.mandarinoriental.com/hotel/507000111.asp] In Rock from the North he explains a bit how and why he and Eno clashed: "We fell out really badly, as boys do, if they are competitive and ego driven,... It's a shame that we didn't stay together longer, because now we work together fine..."

Now they have yet something else in common. Having taken centre stage in which 70s icon can best appropriate the American Songbook project and make it an ongoing never-ending series (leaving BF to write his own new material and issue annual recordings of those!), Rod Stewart last night at the Albert Hall sang two songs in tribute to "my old drinking partner Robert Palmer who passed away a year ago" - Some Guys...and Addicted to Love. Who else can Rod take over the songs from in his globalisation bid? Let me tell you, given that last night also included a duet with Dame Edna Everage, almost anything is up for grabs...
