I think we're on to something here. "do the strand" and "jealous guy" (not
from memphis, just the lennon cover) also are roxy titles. I actually just
pulled out a roxy music cd from a long-untouched 70's cd bin, but for the
life of me i can't find any samples or other references beside the track
titles...

hmmmm... check this out: we had a club here called 42dp that (before it
turned all-electronic) was famous for its door policy at the height of the
80's and for not having let brian ferry in once when he played in cologne.
maybe he should've brought jerry hall along :-D

cheers, tom
np: brian ferry/roxy music: street life :-)
