Surely (staxesque) Michiel van Sleen says: "But then again, there is the possibility that Richard is right. Bryan Ferry does have some dictatoresque qualities, which calls for sycophancy." Richard Evan says: "Yep I'd go with Richard as well - there are obviously two members of ferry juniors band in the studio one on camera and the other air drumming - that could be classed as some sort of sychophancy I would have thought." Hi Michiel, hi Richard: Yes, Bry rules with an iron fist - doesn't mean that everyone is faking pleasure around him. There is always the possibility that everyone present likes what they're hearing and wishes to share that with Bryan. I suppose it is possible they're all fawning like crazy, but why should we begin with such a cynical outlook when all we have here is a 45 second clip of people laying down a guitar track? For the record, I'll defend Bryan but I'm no sycophant myself. I personally think the backing track sounds bland and shapeless and stuck in the past, circa 1994, like some ageing Horoscope out-take that's still not ready. My first thought on hearing it was 'why is he tooling around with this bit of fluff when there's a Roxy album to finish?' But for all I know the Roxy album is already finished, and this is some solo effort scheduled for 2010. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 12:15:27 +0200 From: "Michiel van Sleen" Subject: Re: [AVALON] link to Song Away This theft would also explain the fact Bryan never wore that outfit again, although I can think of other reasons. - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 9:41 AM Subject: Re: [AVALON] link to Song Away > Nice beat, easy to dance to, I'll give it an 80 Mr. Clark...... > > Look good, folks! > I doubt you'll see them again. > & who came up with that brilliant name? > > Since we're all you-tubing lately... > See the offspring of Bryan's GAUCHO LOOK. > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NF6Qa84mno > I knew Mr. LeBon was a thief, but as I hadn't seen this since beta-maxes > walked the earth. > > Always loved this song. > And remembered it for the performance on a mesa concept, and the way-cool > jitterbugging urchins. > Better clothes than the pushed -up -sleves-Miami Vice-pastel look, too. > With all that hairspray, no wonder there was a hole in the ozone layer, in > the 80s. > Does Nick Rhodes, own shares in a cosmetics coompany? > > Regards, R Deagle > > > > > ************** > Dell Mini Netbooks: Great deals starting at $299 after > instant savings! > (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1221972443x1201442012/aol?redir=http:%2F%2Fad.doubleclick.net%2Fclk%3B214819441%3B36680237%3Bi) > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 12:25:09 +0200 From: "Michiel van Sleen" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Re.

I didn't know we were even acquainted so somewhat surprised that you feel quite so confident of my thoughts. However, Roxy Music arrived as a complete package in 1972 as far as I was concerned and I bought in to the whole shebang. If I have felt Bry has earned a sneer or two over nearly 40 years, I would say his career has been chequered enough to reflect that. Similarly, Bri has co-founded his own school of pretension and I could be persuaded to sneer at a good many moments in his career, too. But they are both mere mortals after all. And at least one of them likes to have yes men and especially yes ladies around them. In fact, from what little I know for certain, I think they are not dissimilar in this regard. OK, now that was more than I meant to say. What I meant to say was... Roger Eno and Leo Abrahams are among the band that treks out with Marianne Faithfull across the continent that is Europe.
