There is that one verse in Bittersweet that is in German. What do the following lyrics mean: "Nein - das ist nicht Das ende der welt Gestrandet an leben und kunst Und das spiel geht weiter Wie man weiss Noch viele schönste...wiedershen" http://www.roxyrama.com/classic/lyrics/ ... weet.shtml I showed the lyrics to my mother who had some German years ago in school, but she didn't know what it means. She said, "It's something about "freedom and art." What does it really say? |

Here is how another friend translated: no - that is not the end of the world Stranded in life and art and the game goes on as everybody knows with many nice ("goodbyes" or "reunions") Another person informed me that wiedershen literally means "meet again," so "reunions" might be the better translation. |

All correct

How popular is Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry in Germany? I would think that they would be quite well known there because of their appearances on the German TV show Musik Laden. What great performances they were! I have the DVDs of their performances. Have you seen how Andy Mackay plays his saxophone upside down during Re-Make/Re-Model on Musik Laden? He got that from the saxophone player in Bill Haley's Band and from Lester Young.  All Hail Life and Art! |

I couldn't find the thank-clip.. though I saw it a couple of years ago, Ferry receiving some prize of some sort, he thanked the German audiance and told the story when (Bryan) went to Germany with his siter Ann and visited a girl, think her name was Renate, in Germany who seemed to be his sisters pen-friend. Maybe someone else remember this clip (?). I found that small story very sweet. Sorry, couldn't find the clip. He seems to be very popular in Germany and also Europe, especially Scandinavia. But so are Roxy Music and Brian Eno. (won't rate..though, I'm not a "rater"). |

What the rest of that story about Bryan Ferry and his sister Ann's penpal? Sounds like an interesting story. What prize did he get? It seems like they are really popular in Europe, but not as popular in North America. Why not? |
