His Persona would never resort to Roofies for nookie. I know. If, whilst on a plane a whisker away from a fatal nosedive, the first thing that comes to mind is to tell your son off for swearing, you are NEVER going to sing what Howard sings! But Permafrost is the only thing I've heard that at least matches In Every Dreamhome for its sinister overtones and I would love to hear Ferry sing it purely because it would be so unFerry to utter those words. Call me perverse. Maybe he could apply Oblique Strategy No 56 - sing in tongues unknown to you? > >The CD's cover struck me as an odd choice, but of course Devoto would be familiar with Redon. Supposedly chosen to represent Howard's obsessions with sex and mortality (although I don't see how). I think it's the third time they've used Redon? > >Nile Rogers has been making the talk show circuit here for his new biography Le Freak. > Sounds like a fun read. No mention of BF, but plenty of salacious drug stories, Diana Ross dragsters, and Bowie. I'll look out for it. > >For those interested, Antony & the Johnsons tickets on sale now for a big Radio City Music Hall (NYC) gig in January. So it appears we don't get ALL the best gigs this side of the water then?
