How on Earth could that possibly be considered rude? If you were not specifically invited backstage or to meet him, then how could anyone possibly think that not meeting him or being apprised of his schedule is rude? You chose to wait around at the back door. No one asked you to do so. At concerts, Mr. Ferry's obligation to us to show up for the concert and perform. That's it. That's what your ticket buys you. If you expect more and are disappointed, then that is--entirely--your own doing.

Its all in the delivery. There is a world of difference between Ferry agreeing to do an interview with a journalist and then being rude (if the story is indeed true) and fans deciding Ferry is rude because he elects not to do an unscheduled meet'n'greet after a show. If Mr. Ferry has agreed to do an interview, etc., then one might expect him to comport himself civilly. However, if one does not have his explicit consent for an activity, then to read rudeness into his absence is pure projection. I understand that you yourself think he was rude to you. I am merely pointing out that faily to meet your (uncommunicated to him) expectations does not ipso facto make Mr. Ferry rude.

On another list, in Swedish, that I subscribe to, we are three journalists that have talked to Bryan Ferry professionally. The most famous of us have done so three times or so and has found him charming, he's a Roxy fan from way back, having converted younger people to Roxy fandom. The second most famous is as old as Roxy Music itself and dislikes both Roxy and Ferry. He thought that Ferry was rude. I, who am not famous, liked the two, or is it three?, conversations I've had with Mr Ferry, the first two being press meetings back in the reformed period of the 80's. - -- Daniel ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 09:10:56 -0800 From: "t_mcintosh" Subject: [AVALON] Re: What a strange way to sell an artist <> Which former Bryan Ferry percussionist?

After a long wait outside Ferry dashed from the stage door to limo, signing maybe 4 autographs. I was disappointed not to get one. But truth be known BF owes me nothing. I feel I owe him a great deal for the years of pleasure he has given me. Con$uming that pleasure, however, does not buy me acess to Mr. Ferry. Personal relationships (boy/girlfriends, spouses, family, etc.) are a two way relationship. We each have knowledge of the others expectations, wants, needs, failures, touchy subjects to avoid, etc. Pop Idols ( fill in your own word ) we know ONLY thru their work and persona, which is likely a distortion. They know US not at all. There's automatically an unequal relationship, tilted to the fan's advantage. (real & supposed knowledge of the star) Having people fawn over me because they THINK they know me is really annoying. Being a star and having that happen nonstop must be a nightmare (at times). SO... both Marlana & I (and the un-named Swedish Journalist) happened to see Mr. Ferry on nights he was tired, in a bad mood, was rushing to a late dinner-date, had an ingrown toenail, whatever. I have also stage-doored several other times, and met BF once at an after show thang, when he was charming. Them's the breaks!

Hmmmn.............. I have met Mr Ferry once in the main street in York. My ex-wife, being rather more courageous than I, went straight up to disturb him peering in a shop window and wished him good luck for the castle howard concert the next night. He had 3 kids with him. I managed a "we are really looking forward to it". To us he seemed more surprised and uncomfortable to have been recognised than anything else. He wasn't chatty but was perfectly polite and managed a couple of "oh that's good " and "good good" . A fascinating conversation really. Later (chance meeting whatever you think !!) we waited next to him at the taxi rank (only us there) for a few minutes as his kids played around us and he sat on the wall. I was too scared, too respectful,. too chicken call it what you will to go and talk to him. It didnt seem fair especially with his kids in tow. But he was literally 10 feet away in a quiet street for minutes next in the taxi queue. Todays Rob would just go over and try to pass the time of day. Would that be right ? As our taxi left he sat on the wall and gave a huge wave the way only Bryan can, like the ones at the end of his concerts. So that was good enough for me. I felt we had respected his privacy and he had appreciated it. So whilst there may be a circumstancial case for arrogance I can't believe for one second that the miners son from Newcastle lacks manners and/or is rude, except to people who,ve asked for it. Also he appears to have developed the technique of deflecting questions by stalling for so long that the interviwer asks another , only then to interrupt and carry on as if the interviwer has interrupted. This is not rude, just giving them the runaround when they ask questions he doesnt want to answer. If Bryan courted publicity fair enough, but its hard enough to spot him when his albums are in the top ten never mind when he's trying to keep out the way. So we should respect his privacy and give him a break is all I'm saying. You can;t judge a guy on one bad day.

It's nice to hear about Bryan spending so much time with his kids. I get the feeling he really loved his family back then, (and probably still does).
