lederhosenI got to see Roxy Music last night.
*farawaylook*
I was in third grade the last time they played together. I didn't discover them for another decade - it wasn't until age 16 that I really started listening seriously to music at all, and I'm still catching up. And in eighteen years... well, Bryan Ferry nearly got wiped out by a nutcase in a 747. Andy Mackay gave up music for several years to study theology. And the lineup was missing Brian Eno and Eddie Jobson, replaced on synths, keyboards and violin by one young lady who I'd never heard of.
I was half-expecting to be let down, but it didn't happen. They were better than I remembered their recordings, polished and beautiful, and very very good. And the young lady who I'd never heard of, Lucy Wilkins, was superb.
I love music.
*purrrrrrrr*
