Do we think BF is just chilling out and walking the dog down in Sussex, or being inspired by the quiet and dark afternoons to rustle up some melancholy tunes for our delight?

It would be nice to think something will come of this downtime, given the much-vaunted work ethic. I'd have thought it would focus the creative mind. On the other hand, after endless touring and at 75 years of age, maybe it affords an unforeseen but well-earned rest?
As with everything in BF/RM circles, only a good deal more time will tell!

Mes Amis,
W2 hopes that our hero is well ensconced in his country pile and that the Autumn leaves have inspired him.
Maybe as well as the long overdue biography, he is working on a new album of ready mades. Hopefully he will be including his interpretation of Nick Cave’s ‘Palaces of Montezuma’ and Richard Thompson’s ‘For Shame Of Doing Wrong’. Two absolute gems that W2 would love to see sprinkled with Ferry dust.
Are there any other chansons Ferryistas would like to see our hero cover ?
Salutations,
Windswept.

Bryan’s a singularly enigmatic chap, almost a mystery wrapped up in an enigma. I wonder how conscious has been the choice not to let light in upon magic? Is it a calculation that preserving the mystique keeps people interested, or just that I’m off duty now so I’ll keep myself to myself?
