Is There Life On Roxy Music?

Duality and paradox are the two terms that come to mind whenever I think about Bryan Ferry and his vision of himself, rock music and the universe through the vehicle that is Roxy Music. Sometimes he is a lead singer who will saunter up to the stage dressed in a white dinner jacket, snapping his fingers in front of the jungle strains of a hot band that can scorch the eardrums; staring out at the crowd as though the most important thing on his mind is where to find a good cigarette holder in this day and age.
