When we were young.

1972. I was 14.
Living in a small mining village on the outskirts of Barnsley. The only kid on the entire estate who went to a Grammer School.
Not really affiliated to any particular social group, fashion trend or music.

Looking for a glimmer of hope in my grey, leaden environment.
Outsider. Individual. Dreaming. Waiting. Wanting.
No way forward.

Then Roxy happened.
I entered a fabulous new world. This belonged to me.
Aspiration. Inspiration. Glamour. Attitude. Style. Success.
A new way forward.

2009. I am 51.
I can never forget or underestimate the impact that Roxy had on my life.
One last album and one last, glorious tour. Perhaps. We can hope.
But I will always remember the thrill, the thrill, the thrill of it all

It is said that Roxy is a band for those who doesn`t fit in anywhere else.

Firefighter, what a wonderfully poetic description. Come on Bryan, how can you let him down after a piece of writing like that!!!!!!

Same here. I'm located a bit too far to have become a proper groupie, but this is my music and if there was NONE other left in the world, I'd be happy with just Roxy Music.

Yeah, they`re just drunk. Can you believe it? Just for the ambience. Not real fans. Fooling around. I`ve had enough of it.-And they never appreciate new stuff from veteran artists...Just gimme the hits!
