Ahaha.. awesome, very nice mashup.. :)

I remember Bowie, once in the Tin Machine heydays, made an interpretation of this..

Personally I prefer the original of it, I even find "Take Refuge in Pleasure" cover more delicate. No offense, Bowies solo-works, much dear to me.

Well,that's another time and another place I reckon...

Speaking of Ferrys works, the avatar, while searching "If there is.." "Bodishattva", Norman, reminds me a lot of Ferrys "The Bride Stripped Bare" period in 1978.

I thought the appearance on Kenny Everett was "far out" and quite surrealistic. And 5-10 years ahead of the fashion-industry..

From Raphaël Costambeys-Kempczynskis website, PopMatter, who is an acclaimed and popular lecturer and tutor in English, English Pop-Culture and modern Journalism at the Sorbonne University in Paris:

>Contrary to what notions of modernism and romanticism might infer, there is no real sense of solitude or alienation on this album, and as Linda Hutcheon remarks, “the postmodern artist was clearly no longer the inarticulate, silent, alienated creator figure of the Romantic or even modernist tradition”. Bracewell is right to explore in some depth Ferry’s fascination with the work of Marcel Duchamp, the French surrealist and Dadaist. Quoting Jonathan Takiff’s 1974 article for the Philadelphia Daily News headlined, ‘A Cross Between Marcel Duchamp and Smokey Robinson?’, Bracewell understands Ferry’s references to Duchamp as contributing “a further finesse to his pop vision – an awareness of artistic process, and the resonance of myth.”

Ferry is then cited himself saying that he likes the idea of Duchamp “taking something like a bicycle wheel and just placing it in a different context and putting his signature on it.” This is the beginning of PopArt, Duchamp moving modernism onto something else through his experimentation with quotation and the distance that parody affords. Indeed, this is the becoming of postmodernism.<

Well said Raphael! :)

Well took a chance, well hoping I'm not suffering the "Paparazzo"-whip...

a surrealistic agenda, deserves a surrealistic interview, I guess this was the Comedian meeting the Musician, and strange things happen, or not.. I reckon they "made a deal, and made it strange" upfront...
