  • Every time that I turn on the radio or VH1 lately I want to throw up. How did this group make such amazing songs like this so effortlessly thirty years ago and yet today performers are incapable of creating a memorable tune with the most hi-tech assistance and detailed instructions? RM is the best.

  • @industrialsun - Agreed. In fact, now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever heard Roxy Music on the radio, not even the stations that play older music.

  • this song was actually the b-side of a tribute to Lennon, when Ferry covered "Jealous Guy"....this version is the album version, with some congas and synth added to make it fit more into the theme of Avalon.....it took me a long time to realize that this great song is an imagined conversation between John Lennon and his widow Yoko.....Ferry did such a great tribute to JL

  • Yes so True....even The One hit wonders had more melody ! Day trip to Banger...

  • @hammer1416 I know it's amazing you never hear Roxy Music "on the radio". You did back in the 70's. At least I did on WMMS FM in Cleveland. The music was played a lot. In fact when the band was in town for a concert Bryan Ferry, would come and do an interview. Then in the early 80's WMMS stopped playing bands like Roxy Music. 1983 Roxy for the Avalon Tour in Clevedand. Kid Leo WMMS disc jockey came up introduced the band. He was booed. Very interesting stuff back then.

  • Sexy as all get out.

  • @leetahful oh yes i agree 100%

  • i dont understand why roxy is not on the radio if i was a dj i would play them alot they are so missed by the radio stations get a fuckin grip edmonton start playing some great music instead of the usual top boring 40s

  • @industrialsun Bryan and company come from a time when the music governed everything... musicians from the 70´s had total freedom.....in my opinion this never happened again, and it´s a pitty

  • @industrialsun It must be the pressure of the music industry.....

  • The essence of sexual generosity....the answer is yes.
