POXY ROXY MUSIC

I doubt anyone will have any trouble guessing who I'm about to write about!
firstly, i could never understand why nerdish record journalists always like to mention the fiction that poxy music had an influence on punk, why did they and how? (apart from their last bassist Gary Tibbs who was previously in Adams later 'pop' ants, and a few years before that he was briefly in the vibrators, that is the only connection poxy music have with punk i know of). When they first appeared they were riding the crest of the 'glam rock' wave, sparkly suits with massive metallic coloured shoulder pads, platform boots and daft haircuts (and music to match their clothes) just like Gary glitter.
But then Brian eno, their fashion expert, song writer and keyboard player left after one LP and the band resorted to dressing up in dinner suits and adopted their 'cool guy lounge lizard' image, especially singer Brian ferry.
ferry took the look to extremes and began to love the life also, he was soon on the 'society' circuit dating models and being photoed dining with minor royals, he even brought a country manor and took up the life of a country gent and all that it involves.
Recent years has seen Ferry and his son involved in and blowing the trumpet for the much hated 'countryside alliance' a group of land owners, fox hunters (and they don't even eat what they kill, so why do it? isn't killing animals for fun a sign of an unstable mind? Freud thought so!) and of course there's the mad inbred types who think that because someone comes from a city they wont know what a cow looks like, and that the 'townies' should never leave their 'dirty' cities and never visit 'their' countryside.
the 'countryside alliance' tried to hide it, but many tenant farmers and workers tied to their land were told that they would lose their farms, jobs and/or homes if they didn't join the 'alliance' by their 'lord' of the manor (80% of Britain is still owned by 10% of the population).
so not contented with pissing off most of the public with his arrogant bullshit about 'country ways' and his loud mouthed son desperate to become a martyr for the pro-fox hunting cause (would sir like a life to go with that?), always managing to get himself in the press for doing idiotic stunts to stupidly try and get the country behind something it has campaigned against for years (some people think they are so great their farts can stop a wind storm), give it up, besides we all know you ignore the law and do it anyway, ha, these are the same jokers who are quick enough to hide behind the law and "a sense of civil duty"(like evicting travellers from long neglected land in mid winter snows when it suits them).
'but back to Ferry senior, not only has he blown his long and carefully maintained image as THE Mr cool 'lounge lizard' by giving us all mental images of him in a tight red coat chasing foxes and talking in a fake upper class accent, he has now managed to put his whole foot up to the ankle into his mouth with his latest verbal outpourings. in it Brian said that he found "that the mass marches and the flags" of the Nazis were "just fantastic-really beautiful". what a prick, i suppose he also thinks the way the flames from the burning synagogues reflected off the glass on the pavement floors during 'kristalnacht' was a work of sublime beauty as well.
the man is a tosser and to expect to say something like that without getting a slagging off just shows how arrogant the git is. anyway, that's enough about that overblown tosser, and i never liked their music pre and post punk, i thought they were boring, all their songs sounded like ballads, except 'lets get together' which was recorded in the bands early days, and i don't even like that, its one of those over played songs that always gets on the radio 'drive time' shows and of course in TV shows on 1970's music. what a legacy!
