I'm beginning to recognise Ferry quotes that some of these articles have in common. Did they come from a press pack, perhaps? > "I get the feeling people expect something fairly > refined from me," concludes Ferry, "My voice has > gotten deeper and the album's got an element of > roughness to it and, I hope, a kind of haunting > quality. The singer in me is overjoyed to be singing > these songs." > > Ferry has never met Bob Dylan. > "What would I say if I did meet him? 'I hope you > don't mind'."

(The story stops with the release of "Mamouna" -- so we don't have his comments on the reunion, ATGB and Frantic) ...I am not sure I agree with all his conclusions but it was quite an interesting read...(I remember from Melody Maker quote from about 1977 where Andy belittled the idea Bryan was a "fisher of men" and was hoping to read it again. Not here.) Interesting to know Eddie was not asked back for "Manifesto" and to read how Paul slipped away from the band as "Flesh + Blood" was being recorded...Eno seems to come out as the senior statesman of it all. PS If Susan Dusenbery is still on this list could she please get in touch? ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V12 #14 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
