Something for the weekend

This is why God invented YouTube: Roxy Music performing “Do The Strand” live in 1973. If I’d been in a band back then I would have quit and got a job sweeping roads after seeing this, no way you could top it. The band are rocking their glittery tits off, Brian Eno is doing all sorts of electronic jiggery-pokery over the top of it and – the icing on the cake – Bryan Ferry is wearing a white suit. Insanely great.

    I stumbled here by way of The Word…

    Brilliant brilliant site, sir.

    I think you are me in a parallel universe. I was born in ’61 and also went to Art School ‘tween ’84 &’87 and am now old enough to know better.

    I have 2 teenage daughters, The eldest, now 17, once said to me a few years ago; “Dad, have you got any Roxy Music records?”

    It’s probably my proudest moment as a parent!

    Keep up the good work.

    All the very best,
    Steven
