5. Love them.
Love Bryan's voice. (Don't love his politics, though.)

10. Right wing Tory pig...
ironic considering that it was a Labour govt which made it possible for the son of a coal miner (Ferry) to go to art college.
Ferry is a great artist, but his politics are reprehensible

15. Well, that is disappointing.
Edited on Sat Sep-12-09 12:39 AM by Quantess
I'm a huge Roxy Music fan, especially the early stuff. But yet, I like everything that Bryan Ferry gets involved in.

He really does seem to be (or really seemed to be) a substance abuser, well into the 1980s, at least. People who are are preoccupied with their substances generally are not that politically knowledgeable, nor are they politically motivated, in general.

I hope that he is only minimally interested in politics. So yeah, I hope he is as politically apathetic as he is politically backward.

But, musically, Bryan Ferry is a very interesting, creative, and influential figure.

11. ABSOLUTELY one of favorite bands of all times
They opened for Jethro Tull at their first performance at Madison Square Garden in the early 70's, and people were booing them. Brian Ferry had on a FULL LENGTH black evening gown and was spectacular.
