Bryan Ferry (Official) The Olympia Campaign is now over, and having performed close to 200 shows this year we have no plans to tour in 2012. What should we record next? 200 shows? a year = 365 days (tour started pretty late) that must have been 1 show a day can't imagine ________________________________ From: K B Porter To: avalon@smoe.org Sent: Tuesday, January 3, 2012 7:05 PM Subject: Re: [AVALON] BF Tour 2012?? Tracy posted: "It's just on facebook they said there was no tour in 2012 and were asking what songs we thought Bryan should record or something." Whoa, I really, really hope the Ferry camp wasn't asking BF's 'friends' for recording suggestions! In what universe does the fan glean, clairvoyantly, unreleased original material that is suitable for publication? Isn't this a bit like asking the blind to target-shoot?! OK, let's assume Ferry's clan wants 'recording suggestions' (and I don't really think Bryan Ferry wants them), what could possibly be offered? - 'Oh, a cover of Dylan song would be nice', or 'How about Bruce Springsteen award-winning songs'. Even better, 'I think a great way to reach out to new audiences could happen if our demi-god would put his spin on Mother Goose nursery rhymes!'. Lame. Lame. Who is the idiot soliciting these suggestions - how disingenuous or stupid does this get? Well, strictly speaking as a long-time BF fan , I really, really would love to have new original work written by Ferry and performed by Ferry - and I'm pretty sure there is not a "snowball's chance in hell' that I could possibly know what material that would be, let alone, called!!! BTW, I HATE Facebook - it is nothing but an insidious and exploitive marketing tool. Anyone ever read Zuckerberg's kiss and tell fine-print? You can dress up a 'Social Network' and fool many a tool. Know what you get when you dance with the Devil... (I do not follow anyone on, nor subscribe to, Facebook, so please ignore the above rant should I have misinterpreted Tracy's post for I have not read the actual/original solicitation.) Happy New Year!
