Cher Roxy,
Now thats what I call exciting!

I would be very surprised if CO is not the drummer on the new album...

Michael Bracewell expended a lot of ink to tell the world how avant garde Roxy and BF were when they burst on the scene in the 70s. And being an avant garde musician and fashionista is a mere hop, skip, and a jump away from being cool, so this is not exactly unfamiliar territory for BF. He could have stepped up and engaged the question if he had wanted to. Let's face it, BF markets himself as a cool icon for corporates sponsors to associate themselves with. Cool. Unruffled. Always in control. Never flustered. That's the BF image.

It might be possible to disparage Polly V for not asking questions about the new album, but nothing precluded from BF from mentioning it on his own and giving her a cool scoop on the new project. That was his choice. However, I sympathize with BF that he was forced to endure questions and commentary relating to One Direction. That was not cool on PV's part.
