Something for the weekend
March 9th, 2007
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
You’ll enjoy this then
