I've never heard him before say anything along the lines: " Did you see Bryan Ferry perform in his early days in the North East? Maybe you > knew him. Tell us about your memories of this great performer and musician." Maybe the kids are telling him to be more proactive. (Yes, I know. I was only joking.) A couple of decent interviews at the weekend, the former courtesy of Chris Turner and Roxyrama: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1231233/People-think-I-wake-morn ing-tuxedo-Bryan-Ferry-reveals-truth-life-career.html http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/artic le6933578.ece and some interesting bits to be found here, courtesy of John O'Brien and VivaRoxyMusic: http://www.bryanferry.com er... okay it was there this morning but it seems to have changed to just an advert...let me dig around a bit....er ...try this... http://www.bryanferry.com/bestof/ I suspect you had this all years ago on MySpace etc but I just haven't quite got there yet......but there was some stuff this morning I'd never seen before and it was great...
